On February 28, 2026, a rare planetary parade will be visible worldwide, featuring six planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—aligned along the same orbital plane. The event will be observable after sunset, with Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter visible to the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune may require binoculars or a telescope. Viewing conditions depend on local pollution and light pollution levels. The parade can be seen across Asia, Europe, the UK, Africa, and other regions, with live streams available from space agencies like NASA.
