Seven planets grace the sky at the end of February in what’s known as a planetary parade, though some will be difficult to spot. Venus, Mars and Jupiter are visible to the naked eye through the end of the month. Mercury and Saturn will be faint and close to the horizon, making them harder to see. Uranus and Neptune can only be glimpsed with binoculars and telescopes. Planetary hangouts happen when several planets appear to line up in the night sky at once. The astronomical linkup can happen at least every year. To get in on the planetary spectacle, go outside on a clear night after sunset.
