F resh off the excitement of the Perseids meteor shower is a chance to see six planets lined up in the sky at once. These events, colloquially known as planet parades, occur occas

A planetary parade of six planets is visible in the morning sky through August 20, with Mercury joining Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. August 18 to 19 offers the best viewing, when the crescent Moon aligns with Jupiter and Venus before shifting into a triangle formation later in the month.

Six planets will be visible in our skies for the next few days in the last “planetary parade” of 2025. Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus will be visible in the early morning skies over America from Sunday, Aug. 17, to Wednesday, Aug. 20.
