Parade of Planets 2025

Get ready for an astronomical treat this winter as a stunning parade of planets graces the night sky. Throughout January, skywatchers will have the opportunity to see four bright planets—Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars—all in one sweeping view. Look to the southwest after dark to spot Venus and Saturn shining close together, while Jupiter dominates the sky overhead, and Mars rises brilliantly in the east. For those with telescopes, Uranus and Neptune will also make an appearance, adding to the celestial lineup. Though planetary parades aren’t particularly rare, they’re a marvellous sight when they occur.
