6 planets on show in celestial 'parade'
Digest more
This is your final weekend to catch February’s fading 6-planet lineup or "planet alignment". Here’s what’s still visible — and what’s already gone.
The planets will align in the night sky on Feb. 28. Here is when to look up and which ones are visible without a telescope.
Go outside about an hour after sunset and venture away from tall buildings and trees that will block the view. Look to the western sky and spot Mercury, Venus and Saturn close to the horizon. Jupiter will be higher up, along with Uranus and Neptune.
Six planets will align in February as part of a rare planetary parade. Find out how and when you can see the event.
