See the Amazing Seven: A February Parade of Planets.

At the end of February, seven planets will be visible in the night sky, creating a planetary parade. This happens when planets appear close together on one side of the sun.

Planetary parades are common events that can happen every year. A parade with four or five visible planets occurs every few years.

This month, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter will be easy to see with your eyes. Saturn and Mercury will be harder to see because they are low in the sky.

Uranus and Neptune will need binoculars or a telescope to be seen. To see the parade, go outside after sunset on a clear night.

The planets will be brighter than the stars, and Mars will look reddish-orange. You can use a stargazing app to help you find them.
