There is a heavenly connection on the horizon.
Six planets – Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus – will appear in the sky in the so-called Planet Parade on February 28th. And since this is a unique phenomenon, stargazers will need to dust off their binoculars to see it. some Take it personally.
According to NASAUranus and Neptune are the most distant planets in the solar system, so viewers must use “optical aids” to see them. However, the other four planets (especially Venus, since it is the brightest of them) are visible to the naked eye. To make the occasion even more special, the space agency also noted that a near-full moon would appear in the sky at the same time.
While the latter space is easier to see, it’s still important to make sure your vision is clear to see the parade in its entirety.
Where should watchers look in the night sky? If you only want to see Venus, Mercury, and Saturn, look to the west just after sunset. Place it in the east to catch Jupiter, which will be near Saturn and Uranus.
