"Friday 28 February is the special date, with seven planets visible in the sky - if the night is clear," says Associate Professor of Physics David Armstrong at The University of Warwick, UK. "This 'great planetary alignment' won't happen again until 2040, as it needs all the planets to be on the same side of the Sun."
On the evening of Feb. 28, Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars will align in the sky just after sunset, according to Starwalk.space.
Of these seven planets, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Mars will be visible to the naked eye. To see Neptune and Uranus, you’ll need high-powered binoculars or a telescope. Saturn will be the most difficult to see, as the planet hangs close to the sun. For the best view, make sure there are no tall buildings or high mountains around.
After February’s planetary alignment, there are two more times throughout the year where you can see multiple planets together, including:
- April 15, when Neptune, Mercury, Saturn and Venus align in the morning.
- Aug. 11, when Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn align in the morning.
That's very cool...
