If you are interested in astronomy, don’t miss the alignment of seven planets in the solar system. The event will take place in the coming days.
In a rare astronomical event, seven Solar System planets are due to be seen in a complete alignment this month. This heavenly phenomenon, which is not easy to repetition, will occur on the evening of February 28.
Watch the alignment of seven planets
On March 10, the planets of Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Saturn will appear in a straight line in the sky, respectively. This astronomical event shows the last time that all the planets of the Solar System have been visible simultaneously in the past 15 years.
Although planetary alignment consisting of four or five planets occurs regularly, the alignment of six or seven planets is significantly rare. In fact, six of these seven planets are already in the night sky; But astronomers have to wait until March 10 to complete this unique astronomical event for Mercury to appear exactly above the horizon.
While all the planets of the solar system are in the same direction in this astronomical event, it is not possible to observe them all with the naked eye. You will need optical tools such as binoculars or telescopes to observe Neptune and Uranus.
The best time to see this celestial phenomenon is shortly after sunset on February 28, 2025. As the image shows, the planets appear in the sky at this time.
Astronomical experts emphasize that the best time to see celestial bodies is just after sunset; When the sky is gradually darkened and the stars begin to appear.
Dr. Christopher Barnes, a university professor, described the approximate position of the planets as follows: “Mars will be visible in the East, Jupiter and Uranus in the southeast and the planets of Venus, Neptune and Saturn in the west of the sky.”
Even inhabitants of high -profile and artificial cities can watch a large part of this planetary alignment with the naked eye. However, for better and clearer observation, all the details of this heavenly event, it is recommended to find a dark, away from light pollution. All the planets except Uranus and Neptune are visible to the naked eye, and you will need a binoculars or telescope to see the two planets more accurately.
Dr. Barnes believes that the time to watch this astronomical phenomenon has many benefits for people’s mental health. He says:
Looking at the night sky enhances the focus of the senses and allows people to distance themselves from everyday busy businesses and drown in the present moment. This can lead to a sense of relaxation, renewal, and improvement of life.
According to astronomy researchers, subsequent alignment, which includes five or more planets, will occur in late October 2028 and then in February 2034. But we have to wait until 2040 to see the next alignment.
