Parade of planets visible tonight for Long Islanders and other earthlings
Beginning around sunset, Saturn will be situated closest to the horizon, followed by Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars higher in the sky. While Neptune and Uranus also are within Earth’s line of sight, they’ll require binoculars or a telescope and are extremely difficult to locate, astronomers say.
Planetary parade 2025: What to know as 7 planets align in the night sky
Lineups of four or five planets occur every few years, according to NASA. In late August 2025, four planets will be visible before sunrise, and in late October 2028, five planets will be visible at once before sunrise. Another five-planet alignment will occur in late February 2034, with the planets visible after sunset.
After Friday's spectacle, a "planet parade" of this size won't appear in the night sky for several years, experts say.
