An extremely rare planetary alignment will take place on February 28, 2025. Don’t miss it — an event like this won’t happen again this decade!
In the evening, just after sunset, seven planets — Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars — will align in the sky. Four of them (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars) will be easily visible to the naked eye. For Uranus and Neptune, get a pair of binoculars or a small telescope. Saturn will be the most difficult target to see — you’ll need to know the exact time for your exact location as the planet hangs close to the Sun.
I’m not so sure about the binoculars part there… I have an 8" dobsonian telescope and I have a hard time finding those two.
It’s right there along the bottom.
I was gonna say.
Nearly everything one observes year round is Earth. Even your clothes and the cloud of your warm breath when you are out observing the alignment in the cold is Earth.
Useless red circle.
I never see Earth in the sky.
You can see both it and the moon from Mars. So that’s fun
It’s one of your last… sounds like a threat.
Response: “… Look down.”
Years ago, I think I remember seeing a screenshot- could have been from Quora, where someone was asking why we haven’t sent astronauts to the sun.
I lost a pretty big chunk of my faith in humanity that day.
The sun? But that’s the hottest place on earth
Thought that was someone’s desktop theme
Earth is Rudolf after Santa and the elves discovered headlights. Irrelevant.
