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.

Six planets — Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn — will align in the evening sky just after sunset. Although it can be hard to see them in winter, four of these planets — Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn — can be spotted with the naked eye. For a better view of Neptune and Uranus, you’ll need a telescope.
