A rare "planetary parade" will march across the night sky.
On Feb. 28, after the sun sets, the rare phenomenon will occur, with six planets appearing to align and form a parade across the evening sky, according to NASA.
Usually, people can look up at the bright sky and spot at least one planet. Two or three planets are also commonly hanging out in the night sky, according to NASA. But what about when four, five, or even six planets are visible? Well, then it's what's known as a "planetary parade."
Six planets, Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter, will be visible the night of Feb. 28, according to NASA. Seeing a parade of six or even seven planets is rare.
Of the six, five planets will be visible to the naked eye, Chelsea Gohd, outreach specialist for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told USA TODAY in an email. But binoculars or a telescope will be needed to view Uranus and Neptune.
