This month, six planets in the\u00a0solar system<\/u><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn \u2014 will appear in Earth’s skies in a “parade of planets.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Although the dark hours of Jan. 21 and 25 may be good times to see it, as various media outlets have publicized, this sight will not be restricted to one or two nights. It will be possible to see a giant arc of planets any clear night in January (and it was visible in December, too). And, in fact, an even greater opportunity lies in the months ahead, when yet another planet joins the “parade.”<\/p>\n

Which planets will be visible in January?<\/h2>\n

Jan. 21 is a good time to look at the arc of planets because that’s when the moon reaches its last quarter phase, when the half-lit orb rises around midnight. That clears the way for dark evening skies, though light pollution won’t hamper views of the bright planets.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 21, it will be possible to see\u00a0Saturn<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Venus<\/u><\/a>\u00a0close to each other in the west \u2014 just days after their close conjunction on Jan. 18 \u2014 with Jupiter shining above in the south and Mars (fresh from\u00a0its bright opposition on Jan. 15<\/u><\/a>) above in the east. Uranus will be just to the right of Jupiter, while Neptune will be right above Venus. To see Uranus and Neptune, however, you’ll need a\u00a0powerful backyard telescope<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
