Planetary parades: how often are they? Astronomer Finn Burridge of the Royal Observatory Greenwich told the MailOnline:
“It is rather uncommon for numerous planets to be seen at the same time, although sometimes planets will rise while others have set.
“Some parades may only include three or four planets, this year we have six, which is very rare and quite significant.”
Additionally, astronomy education officer Jake Foster stated: “Jupiter will be the second brightest planet, likewise gleaming white,
While Venus will be clearly the brightest of the four, radiating a dazzling white light. Because Saturn is so far from the sun,
It will seem noticeably fainter than the other three. Because of its coloration, which to the unaided eye appears as a brilliant orange point of light, Mars will stand out from the others the most.
