A six-pack of planets will line up and light up the night sky this month, folks. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align for our viewing pleasure — from now until mid-February. When was the last time all the planets aligned?

Because planets always appear in a line, the alignment isn't anything out of the norm. What's less common is seeing so many bright planets at once.

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.
