A celestial show is underway. Six planets are forming a parade in the night sky over the next few weeks. Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn should be visible to the naked eye. A telescope will be needed to spot Neptune and Uranus.

A handful of planets in the solar system are expected to line up in the night sky for a few days in January 2025. Here's when to look up at the stars.

Planetary alignments aren't rare, but they can be when they involve six of the eight planets in our solar system.

Six planets will be in alignment during the planet parade: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn.

"A parade of planets, also sometimes referred to as a planetary alignment, is when several planets in our solar system appear to line up in the sky from our perspective here on Earth," John Conafay, CEO of Integrate Space, tells TODAY.com.

Six planets align in a rare planetary parade visible across January and February offering stargazers an unforgettable experience.

A parade of planets will be visible to skywatchers around the globe through the rest of this month and into February.

You aren't too late to catch a glimpse of a so-called 'planet parade' in the night sky, although to see them all, you might want to grab a telescope.

Because planets always appear in a line, the alignment isn't anything out of the norm. What's less common is seeing so many bright planets at once.

With frigid temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills, you may want to wait a few more days to check them out. Don't worry - they're not going anywhere.
