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.

Earth is Rudolf after Santa and the elves discovered headlights. Irrelevant.
