Look up! Six planets grace the sky this month in what’s known as a "planetary parade," and most will be able to be seen with the naked eye.

A six-pack of planets will line up and light up the night sky this month, folks. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align for our viewing pleasure — from now until mid-February. When was the last time all the planets aligned?

Planetary alignments aren't rare, but they can be when they involve six of the eight planets in our solar system.
