A planetary alignment, or a "planet parade" according to the internet, will grace our night sky just after dusk, according to SkyatNightMagazine. We'll see six planets in the first part of February – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn – and on Feb. 28, they'll be joined by Mercury.

A shortcut for New Yorkers to spot some of the planets is to look for them when they are near the moon. On Feb. 1, Venus will appear just above the crescent moon. On the third day of the month, Neptune will appear under Venus. Mars will appear near the moon on Feb. 9.

In February, six planets will align in the night sky — Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars — and be mostly visible to the naked eye. We find out how to see and more about this planetary parade. Here & Now 's Tiziana Dearing speaks with Sky and Telescope senior editor Kelly Beatty.

A crescent moon will be part of a planetary parade featuring six planets after sunset on Feb. 3. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn will all line up.

As we discussed last month, late January and early February will provide a stage for a Planet Parade, with six planets lining up in the night sky. On February 1, we should see the crescent moon in close proximity to Venus for the second-last time this year.

February brings a rare planetary parade, with five bright planets in clear view and a special alignment of Mercury and Saturn on Feb. 24.
