7-planet parade will be visible on last day of February
According to NASA, multi-planet lineups are visible "every few years," but a seven-planet alignment is particularly uncommon, as each planet's orbit varies, with some moving more quickly and Mercury, in particular, being visible during its 88-day orbit for only "a couple of weeks at a time" each year.
Seven planets will align in a rare "parade" on Friday, Feb. 28, 2025. Here's tips to get the best viewing possible.
