7 planets are based on Sky – Wgau

A planetary parade takes place on Friday, in which seven planets are apparently aligned.

Space.com said that mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are aligned with the sky shortly after dusk.

They are accompanied by the moon.

You should be able to see most planets without help, but to see everyone you have to have access to what Space.com is a good telescope.

NASA said you won't need the telescope to see mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. That means you need one to throw Uranus and Neptune.

Most planets have made their trip high above us, but Mercury is now among them, but it will be too low on the horizon to see them.

Friday is the best day to see it in the USA, CBS News reported. Tokyo could see it last week, while other areas of the world can see it next month.

The next time all seven planets are equipped, 2040.
