Known as the "Parade of Planets," the celestial event will feature appearances from Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn through the end of January, according to Farmer's Almanac. Mercury will emerge in the night sky at the end of February, replacing Saturn.

Baker said that there are other astronomical events that may be more interesting than the parade of planets. Baker said Mars and Jupiter would be best to see through a telescope right now. Mars is the closest it will be to Earth in the last two years, meaning the red planet will appear larger in the night sky.

HELENA — The planets are aligned. Six planets, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn can be seen in the night sky. You'll need binoculars or a telescope to see Neptune and Uranus but they're out there too.

Planetary Parade A rare alignment of Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune is visible this month and into early February. Peak viewing occurs on January 29, coinciding with the new moon for darker skies.

Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn should be visible to the naked eye, but get a telescope and you can spot Neptune and Uranus.

Four planets will be in the parade in January, while seven will align in February. Here's how to see the events.

The Omaha area will be able to spot the parade of planets this week. Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align on two days: Jan. 27 and 31. The planets will align in the evening sky just after sunset, but you can get the best view of the six planets if you start watching an hour before sunset.

It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s actually happening! Starting from January 25, 2025, a rare planetary alignment will take place, where Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune will all be visible together in the sky.

Six planets - Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus - made an appearance together in a celestial spectacle that captured the attention of sky-gazers across the globe on Saturday night. Watch this report for more details!

Stargazers will be treated to a dazzling six-planet "alignment" this January.

Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT) on Saturday (Jan. 25), astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project will stream live telescope views of all six of the planets in marching order. You can watch the livestream courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project directly on their website or YouTube channel.
