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

Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Venus will put on a show after sunset. Planet alignments like this aren’t rare, but they also don’t come around every year. The best part of this planetary alignment will be how they lineup along the horizon.

In case anyone missed the January planetary alignment, two more are expected to be seen in the night sky in February, with one alignment featuring two more celestial bodies.

You might want to keep your eyes on the skies through next month: Six planets will align in January and February.

Stargazers who haven’t had a chance to check out this month’s planet parade will want to look up soon because there’s something about the January event that is particularly special. But it might not be what you’ve seen on social media.
