Six-Planet Parade Dazzles Weekend Sky
A planetary parade will light up the western sky after sunset on Feb 28, with Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune visible in a tight cluster. Four planets will be naked-eye visible, while Uranus and Neptune require binoculars or a telescope. The planets will appear closest together about 30 minutes after local sunset, offering a rare stargazing opportunity—the event won’t occur again in such a configuration until 2040.
