  • A rare “planet parade” will light up the night sky this week, with six planets-Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune-visible simultaneously. The event, occurring only a few times a year, will be most visible in the Northern Hemisphere around 6:45 p.m. local time, with Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune clustered near the western horizon. Jupiter and Uranus will remain visible longer, trailing the Gemini and Taurus constellations respectively. The parade is observable across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and much of the world from February 21‑28, offering sky‑watchers a brief but striking celestial display.
