Today, on the night of January 21, 2025, an incredible astronomical event will happen in the space world and then a rare sight will be seen in the sky. Today the earthlings should get ready to see the planetary parade (planetary alignment). Today 6 planets Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune will come in a straight line. This beautiful sight will be visible in the sky every night till March 8. After February 15, Mercury will also be a part of this parade. Half moon will enhance the beauty of these planets. If seen in deep darkness away from light then 4 planets will be visible to the naked eye. A telescope is required to see Neptune and Uranus.
This scene will be seen all over the world
The parade can be viewed after sunset from 8:30 pm onwards. The planets will disappear after 11:30 pm. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus will be visible in the night sky. Mars will set before the sun rises. When Saturn, Mercury and Neptune set, they will be closest to the Sun. Venus-Saturn will be visible in the west direction and Jupiter-Mars will be visible in the east direction. The planets will clearly line up about 45 minutes after sunset. The parade will be fully visible by March 8. People from India and around the world including America, Canada will be able to watch the parade of planets and the best time to watch it will be between January 21, 2025 and February 21, 2025. The best time to see this parade is Poonam.
When do the planets align?
Referring to this incident, Hannah Sparks, planetarium supervisor of the Bishop Museum of Science and Nature in Florida, America, says that 7 planets in space revolve around the Sun, including the Earth. All the planets revolve around the Sun, far away from each other, but in the shape of a circle. The time and speed of their rotation also varies. There comes a time when despite revolving around the Sun, all the 8 planets come in a straight line on one side of the Sun.
Due to their distance from Earth, they are very close to each other
Although they are far away from each other, they are very close to each other due to their distance from the Earth. After moving in a straight line for several days, the planets move far enough that they remain in a straight line and can be seen.
