Rare Planetary Show: See 7 Planets in the Sky Before They Disappear Until 2040

Stargazers are in for an incredible sight this week as seven planets—Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn—will align in the night sky. This rare planetary event, known as a “planetary parade,” won’t be visible again like this until 2040, making it a must-see moment for space lovers.

The best time to catch this celestial display is right after sunset on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars will be visible to the naked eye, while Saturn may be harder to spot due to its low position on the horizon. To see Uranus and Neptune, a telescope will be needed.

A clear horizon and minimal light pollution will give the best chance of seeing all seven planets at once. However, the viewing window is short, as Saturn and Mercury will quickly set below the horizon after sunset. The remaining planets—Venus, Jupiter, and Mars—will stay visible for a longer time.

Planets orbit the Sun on nearly the same plane as Earth. Due to their different speeds and distances, they sometimes appear aligned from Earth’s perspective. This creates a breathtaking visual display, even though they remain far apart in space.

For the best experience, find a dark location away from city lights. Give your eyes time to adjust—about 30 minutes—to fully see the planets. Avoid bright screens, get comfortable, and enjoy the view.

Weather conditions will play a key role in visibility. While early-week skies may be cloudy, clearer conditions are expected by Thursday and Friday. The best time to look is just after sunset before mist or fog develops.

This rare event is a perfect opportunity to observe the wonders of the night sky. Even after the planetary parade ends, keep looking up—you never know what the universe has in store.
