Planetary Parade | 07 Mar 2025

Source: ET

The Planetary Parade is a rare celestial event where seven planets- Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, align on one side of the Sun. 

  • This occurs because planets orbit the Sun along a flat, disc-shaped path called the ecliptic plane. 
  • Occurrence: Such planetary alignments are extremely rare, occurring only once in a few decades. The next occurrence is expected in 2040. 
  • Visibility: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune require telescopes due to their distance and faintness.
