On Feb. 28, seven planets—Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn—will all grace the early evening sky. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars will be easy to spot with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune will require binoculars or a small telescope.

This Friday, all seven planets will be in the night sky for a brief period. Join the cosmic spectacle and learn where to look for each planet!

Prepare for a rare astronomical treat this Friday, Feb. 28, 2025, when a remarkable planetary alignment will feature seven planets.

The solar system's planets are set to align in the night sky in a dazzling planetary alignment, colloquially known as a planetary parade, on Friday night.

The seven other planets in our solar system can be seen in the sky at once through Friday, forming a planet parade. But two require a telescope to view.

A rare 7-planet alignment will be visible this week after sunset, with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune aligning. Another chance to see this event will occur in February 2025.

Beginning around sunset, Saturn will be situated closest to the horizon, followed by Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars higher in the sky. While Neptune and Uranus also are within Earth’s line of sight, they’ll require binoculars or a telescope and are extremely difficult to locate, astronomers say.

After dusk on Friday night, seven planets are expected to align in the night sky. But you'll need binoculars or a telescope to see them all.
