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.

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.
Me neither. Don't you find that suspicious?? What else are they hiding from us!? Do they think we're stupid????
Response: "... Look down."
It's right here dude.
Aren’t they always on the plane of the elliptic though?
ecliptic, yes they are
Thought that was someone's desktop theme
.
Earth is Rudolf after Santa and the elves discovered headlights. Irrelevant.
Yeah they're out of order too
