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.

Qatar residents can look forward to a rare celestial event this Saturday night, as six planets align for a stunning show in the sky

You might want to keep your eyes on the skies for the next couple of months: Six planets will align in January and February. AccuWeather writes that Saturn, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars will be visible every evening through the first half of February,

A celestial show is underway. Six planets are forming a parade in the night sky over the next few weeks. Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn should be visible to the naked eye. A telescope will be needed to spot Neptune and Uranus.

Skywatchers can spot Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in the night sky with the naked eye, but two other planets might need a telescope to be seen.

Six planets will be in alignment during the planet parade: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn.

A good environment to see the stars--one of the brightest is the planet, Venus. But there are five more planets out here which are part of a “Parade of Planets” making an appearance right now, many which can be seen by the naked eye. To catch a glimpse of all of them, head outside at sunset and look to the southwest.

A parade of planets will be visible to skywatchers around the globe through the rest of this month and into February.

"A parade of planets, also sometimes referred to as a planetary alignment, is when several planets in our solar system appear to line up in the sky from our perspective here on Earth," John Conafay, CEO of Integrate Space, tells TODAY.com.

Planetary alignments aren't rare, but they can be when they involve six of the eight planets in our solar system.

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

New observational data from the James Webb Space Telescope and simulation models have confirmed a new type of planet unlike anything found in the solar system. This provides another piece of the puzzle describing how planets and planetary systems form.
