It was called the Planetary Parade. Astronomers believe that these types of situations are not rare but worth seeing.

It was not just stargazers, but curious citizens who wanted to see what the fuss was all about. And according to comments, some got to witness a rare ‘planet parade’ this past weekend as it was said that all the planets would be aligned on January 25th.

It was suggested that Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus will be aligned in the next 48 hours starting from January 25th. It also indicates that Pluto will be in conjunction with the Sun.

NASA explained that “Now, these events are sometimes called “alignments” of the planets, and while it’s true that they will appear more or less along a line across the sky, that’s what planets always do. That line is called the ecliptic, and it represents the plane of the solar system in which the planets orbit around the Sun.”

To note is that it began on January 21 and will reach its peak around January 29.

This phenomenon will continue to be visible until mid-February. Although the six planets – Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – can be best viewed on January 25, the alignment is taking over the sky for two months, with Mercury joining the parade of planets by the end of February which eventually will make a planet parade of seven planets.

Mercury will reach its peak visibility from February 28 to March 12, completing the cosmic display of seven planets.

It was also said that as a result of the constellations that a great spiritual revolution would take place due to the alignment of these planets.
