All seven of the other planets in our solar system are about to become visible at once in a great planetary alignment – here’s how to spot the celestial show

Stargazers will be treated to a rare seven-planet alignment in February. This is what scientists hope to learn.

This means at its peak, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus will be shown to the south and Mars will be north and west. The planet alignment will last every night through mid-February. The best time to see it will be directly after dark. The planets will be brightest around the new moon phase on January 29.

KGUN 9's Cuyler Diggs explains how you can check out the 'parade of planets' in our night sky through February!

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align in a straight line in the sky. While most of these planets will be visible to the naked eye, some will require binoculars for observation.
