🌔On February 28, 2026, skywatchers may have the chance to see all the planets of our solar system visible in the sky around the same time a rare and exciting planetary gathering. Events like this don’t happen often because each planet moves around the Sun at a different speed and along slightly different paths. For them to appear together in the sky from our point of view on Earth is unusual.
Some of the planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, can sometimes be seen with the naked eye under good conditions. Uranus and Neptune are much fainter and usually require binoculars or a small telescope to spot clearly. During this event, the planets won’t be lined up in a perfectly straight row, but they will appear spread across the sky along an imaginary path called the ecliptic the same path the Sun and Moon follow.
The best time to look will likely be shortly after sunset or before sunrise, depending on your location. A clear horizon and dark skies away from city lights will improve visibility. Using a stargazing app can help you locate each planet more easily.
What makes this event special is its rarity. A similar opportunity to see all the planets visible in the sky at once won’t occur again until around 2040. For astronomy lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys looking up at the night sky, it’s a wonderful reminder of the vast and dynamic solar system we are part of.
