Six-Planet Alignment Visible in Night Sky at End of February 2026

At the end of February 2026, six planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus—will appear aligned in the night sky in a rare planetary parade. Four planets will be visible to the naked eye shortly after sunset, while Uranus and Neptune require binoculars or telescopes due to their faintness. The event will be observable in India and other regions, with optimal viewing about an hour after sunset, looking toward the western horizon. Experts note that planets appear clustered along the ecliptic, not in a perfect line.
