Planetary parade’ will see six planets align in rare spectacle - Celestial spectacle will not be repeated for another 400 years

If you’re looking for a way to fill an evening this month with something wonderous, look no further than the night sky above your head. For the rest of the month, observers will be treated to a planetary parade featuring appearances from every single one of the non-Earth planets in the solar system.

Bengaluru residents can witness this from January to February 2025, with four planets visible to the naked eye. Head to these locations with minimal light pollution like.
