Seven planets are set to appear in the night sky this month in a rare full planetary alignment. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Saturn will appear in a row on the evening of 28 ...
Catching a glimpse of the planets will depend on the time of day and their relative distance from the planet at the time. For example, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter are best viewed after sunset at ...
A “planet parade” of six planets will soon appear to align in the sky near dawn, but only three will be visible to the naked eye. Here’s how to view the event.
Because the orbits of all the planets in the Solar System (as well as the Moon) are inclined by only a few degrees, they always appear very near the ecliptic in our sky. Therefore, although an apparent planetary alignment may appear as a line (actually, a great arc), the planets are not necessarily aligned in space.
The last time all eight planets were aligned was on Dec. 28, 2022. On Jan. 18, 2025, there will be six planets in the alignment: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. On Feb. 28 ...
A special planetary alignment is occurring in January and February. Four planets are visible to the naked eye, with two more faintly showing. Here's how, where, and when to see the planets line up ...
The Harmonic Convergence was the world's first synchronized global peace meditation, coinciding with an exceptional alignment of Solar System planets on August 16–17, 1987. The event was organized by spouses José Argüelles and Lloydine Burris Argüelles, via the Planet Art Network (PAN), a peace movement they founded in 1983.
The ascending nodes of both planets are similar (100.6 degrees for Jupiter and 113.7 degrees for Saturn), meaning if Saturn is above or below Earth's orbital plane Jupiter usually is too. Because these nodes align so well it would be expected that no closest approach will ever be much worse than the difference between the two inclinations.
