A planetary parade describes a moment when several planets appear to line up in the sky from the Earth’s perspective.
Just after sunset on Saturday, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Neptune will appear low in the western sky, close to the horizon.
If you don’t have access to binoculars or a telescope you might be able to attend a local astronomy society event to get a better look.
A viewing spot with the clearest view of the horizon is best, particularly to see Mercury and Venus, which will appear very low in the sky.
Higher in the sky, Uranus will be sitting in the constellation Taurus and won’t set until around midnight, giving skywatchers with the right equipment a better chance of tracking it down.
Jupiter will be the easiest of the six to find, shining brightly in the constellation Gemini and high enough to stay in view for much of the night, even from light-polluted towns and cities.
