Though the planets are always “aligned,” seeing more than four in the sky is more uncommon. February’s lineup is a chance to glimpse all seven in one sweeping view.

A planetary alignment, or a "planet parade" according to the internet, will grace our night sky just after dusk, according to SkyatNightMagazine. We'll see six planets in the first part of February – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn – and on Feb. 28, they'll be joined by Mercury.

This February, skywatchers are in for a treat. Bright planets such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter will rule the night sky.

Skywatchers: A six-planet alignment peaks this week as Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn come together for view shortly after sunset in the sky.

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.

Welcome to this month’s edition of “What’s up in the sky?” February has a nice lineup of planets and some eye-catching alignments.

A spectacular line-up of seven planets will be visible under UK skies during peak conditions, experts say - and the rare 'planetary parade' won't be seen again until 2040
