The night sky is set to host a spectacular "planetary parade" on February 28, 2026, as six planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—appear to align in a sweeping arc. This visual phenomenon occurs because the planets orbit the Sun on the same plane, known as the ecliptic, occasionally gathering on one side of the Sun from Earth’s perspective.

To catch the alignment at its peak, observers should look toward the western horizon approximately 30 to 60 minutes after local sunset. While Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and the dazzling Jupiter will be visible to the naked eye, the distant ice giants Uranus and Neptune are much fainter and will require binoculars or a telescope to spot.

This 2026 event follows an even rarer seven-planet alignment that took place in February 2025, which included Mars in the cosmic lineup. Astronomers note that while small groupings are common, a full seven-planet spectacle is a "once-in-a-generation" event that is not expected to happen again until the year 2040.

The 2026 parade will stretch across the sky from the low western horizon, where Venus and Mercury hug the twilight, up toward the southeast, where Jupiter will shine brightly near the Moon. Because Mercury and Venus set quickly after the Sun, the window to see all six planets simultaneously is brief, often lasting only about 30 minutes before the inner planets dip below the horizon.

For those in different time zones, the "best" viewing date may vary slightly; while February 28 is the global peak, cities like London and Mumbai may see the tightest grouping on March 1. Using stargazing apps can help identify the planets, as they will appear as steady points of light that do not twinkle like distant stars.
