A seven-luminaries-deep parade of planets will line up and light up the night sky this week, folks. Just after sunset on Feb. 28, 2025, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will align for our viewing pleasure.

Prepare for an unforgettable 'parade of planets' as 7 planets will align in a rare celestial event on Feb. 28, for the last time in a decade. Some will be visible to the naked eye, while others may require a closer look through a telescope.

Look to the sky Friday night for the rare chance to see seven planets lined up. The big picture: Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars will appear together in a "planetary alignment" or "parade of planets" shortly after sunset Friday,

For example, you’ll need binoculars or a small telescope to see Uranus and Neptune—so, while the seven planets will be there, spotting them all will require specific equipment. Several of them will only appear low on the western horizon around twilight, but three will be bright and high in the sky after sunset.

This week, sky-watchers will have the opportunity to witness a rare planetary alignment as several planets line up in the night sky.

While most of these planets have been visible in the night sky since January, Mercury is the latest planet to join the procession, reaching its highest point above the horizon,
