In February 2025, all seven of our planetary neighbors will be visible from Earth. So what does such a planetary alignment mean for science? Well, not much — unless you're an interplanetary spacecraft.

All of Earth's planetary neighbors are about to be visible in the night sky next week – though you may need binoculars to see a few of them.

The alignment involves Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, all visible on the same side of the Sun.

Mississippi stargazers will be able to see 4 or 5 planets in the night sky with their naked eye this month. Will you be able to see all 7 on Feb. 28?

Mars, which will appear as a reddish dot, will be the highest in the sky, located above the southern horizon in the constellation Gemini. Jupiter, the second brightest in the night sky, will be found a bit lower than the Red Planet, in the constellation Taurus. Uranus will be in the constellation Aries, near the border of Taurus.

A nearly new moon and mostly clear skies will present near ideal viewing conditions for the planet parade through Feb. 28.

The four-planet lineup that began in January concludes by mid- to late February, as Saturn sinks increasingly lower in the sky each night after sunset, according to NASA. While Mercury will briefly join Saturn later in February in the post-sunset glow, both planets will be too low and faint for most observers to spot.

Prepare for a 2025 filled with dazzling celestial spectacles! From mesmerizing eclipses to radiant meteor showers, the night sky promises unforgettable wonders. Watch as the moon mingles with neighboring planets and brilliant stars,
