What is a Planetary Parade?
A planetary parade occurs when multiple planets align in a row in the night sky. During this event, planets like Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars will be visible to the naked eye. For a closer look, Neptune and Uranus will require binoculars or a telescope. This rare alignment will give sky watchers the opportunity to see planets that are often hidden behind the brightness of the sun or hard to spot due to their distance.
Best time to watch the Planetary Parade
The planetary parade will be visible from January 25 to February 21, 2025, but January 26 will mark the peak of the event. The best time to observe the planetary parade is just after sunset and before sunrise. On January 29, the new moon will create perfect conditions for viewing, offering a clearer view of the planets without interference from the moon’s brightness.
