Look up! Six planets grace the sky this month in what’s known as a "planetary parade," and most will be able to be seen with the naked eye.

Six of our cosmic neighbors are expected to line up across the night sky tonight, in what has been dubbed a "planetary parade". Throughout much of January and February, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be visible splayed out in a long arc across the heavens, with Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn being visible to the naked eye.

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will appear to line up and be bright enough to see with the naked eye in the first few hours after dark. This weekend, Venus and Saturn get especially cozy.

A planetary conjunction, also known as a planetary parade, is set to cross the night skies this week, offering a rare opportunity for stargazers.

Venus and Saturn are currently in conjunction, meaning the planets appear close together in the night sky from Earth. These two planets are visible in the southwest sky.
