ANOTHER, even rarer, 'planet parade' is set to grace skies very soon.
For one night only, all seven other planets in the Solar System will align in the night sky at the same time.
This month, six planets have been visible in the sky - and will be joined by Mercury in a few weeks' time.
Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Mercury will be strung across the sky in an arc shape on 28 February.
Although just five planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mercury, will be visible to the naked eye.
Uranus and Neptune are never visible to the naked eye, as they are simply too far away from Earth.
However, with a good pair of binoculars or a telescope, you may be in luck.
It's not uncommon for a few planets to align - all it requires is for them to be on the same side of the Sun as the Earth.
But it's quite rare for six planets to align, and even rarer for seven.
Mars, Venus and Jupiter will be easy to spot on 28 February.
Venus will be the brightest in the sky, shining twice as bright as the North Star, Polaris.
It will be followed by Jupiter, glowing only slightly brighter than Polaris.
Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will appear as bright-white points of light, like stars.
While Mars will have a distinct orange glow.
Head outside early to allow your eyes to adjust to the dark.
This way you'll be able to see Saturn, which won't be as bright as Mars, Venus and Jupiter.
While binoculars or telescopes can allow you to see the planets in all their glory, they can also limit the portion of the sky you can see.
The best time to go outside and look will be just after sunset.
Jupiter is scheduled to set at roughly 6:30pm GMT / EST in the UK and the US.
Mercury's placement will be low on the horizon, meaning it will also set and dip out of visibility at about 7pm GMT / EST.
