The following "Grand Parade of the Planets" is expected on February 28, the Byurakan Observatory reports.
The "Parade of the Planets" is a beautiful observational phenomenon that occurs when several planets are simultaneously aligned on the same side of the Sun.
On February 28, 2025, immediately after sunset, the inhabitants of planet Earth will be able to see the "parade" of seven planets: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, Saturn and Mercury.
Mars, Venus, and Jupiter will be visible to the naked eye, but observation devices will be needed to study them in more detail.
"Parade of the Planets" is not an official astronomical term; it is also called "planetary alignment."
Astronomers believe the alignment of the seven planets is a very rare phenomenon, and such a great alignment will occur in 2040.
It should also be noted that the "parade of the planets" will be visible almost everywhere in the evening, but February 28, 2025, is a common date when this phenomenon is most visible worldwide.
The "parade" will be visible several days before and after February 28.
