Look up! Six planets grace the sky this month in what’s known as a "planetary parade," and most will be able to be seen with the naked eye.

Six of our cosmic neighbors are expected to line up across the night sky tonight, in what has been dubbed a "planetary parade". Throughout much of January and February, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be visible splayed out in a long arc across the heavens, with Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn being visible to the naked eye.

In the depth of winter, a sweeping view of our solar system will glow in the night sky. In total six planets will be visible, four of them to the naked eye - Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. VIDEO ABOVE: 2024 solar eclipse: How it looked in Erie,

Skywatchers can spot Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in the night sky with the naked eye, but two other planets might need a telescope to be seen.

"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.

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