Six Planets Align for Rare Sky Show
Reading
Six planets are now in the sky. This is called a planetary parade, and it is the last one this year. You can see the planets together in the sky.
Planets line up in the sky sometimes. These parades happen about once a year, if the weather is good. NASA says you can often see a bright planet.
You can see four planets this month without help. These planets are Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury. You need binoculars or telescopes to see Uranus and Neptune.
Jupiter and Venus were close this week. They are still near each other in the sky. Mercury will be far from the sun on Tuesday, so it is easy to see.
Go outside before the sun comes up to see the planets. Look east to find Jupiter and Venus. Saturn is on the side, and Mercury is near the horizon; the next big show is in February.
