How amazing, we get to see a planet parade and this wonât happen again till 2040.
It's happening tonight! â¨
Six worlds. One horizon. One unforgettable evening. đŞ
On February 28, skywatchers get a rare treat as Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter appear in the evening sky together, stretched along the ecliptic like pearls on a cosmic string.
Brilliant Jupiter steals the show in the east near the twins of Gemini, glowing close to a bright, nearly full Moon. Higher up, Uranus hides beneath the Pleiades in Taurusâbinoculars will help you spot it.
Toward the west, the real challenge begins. Venus shines low in the fading twilight, while Mercury and Saturn hover near the horizon, racing the setting Sun. Neptune lingers nearby but requires a telescope and perfect timing.
In one sweep of your eyes, youâre witnessing planets separated by billions of kilometersâsharing the same sky for a brief moment in time. Step outside and look up. đ
