Spectacular planetary alignment
alex.myles 'A spectacular celestial event is gracing the night sky as six planets—Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Venus—align in a breathtaking planetary parade. This extraordinary event offers stargazers an unparalleled chance to marvel at the wonders of our solar system. Tonight, Venus and Saturn will take center stage with a close conjunction, a dazzling highlight of this celestial display. By late February, Mercury will join the lineup, turning this six-planet parade into an even more spectacular seven-planet arrangement. |
Venus and Saturn, appearing in the southwest sky just after sunset, will be separated by only 2 degrees—the width of two fingers held at arm’s length. Venus will shine brilliantly as the "evening star," its bright light contrasting beautifully with Saturn’s subtler, golden glow. This conjunction creates a striking visual moment that’s hard to miss. This planetary alignment, with four planets visible to the naked eye until February 21, invites us to look up and connect with the vast beauty of the cosmos ✨️🙏💗🙏✨️
