This Friday, all seven planets will be in the night sky for a brief period. Join the cosmic spectacle and learn where to look for each planet!

To see the parade, find a dark place with a clear view of the western horizon at nightfall. Mercury and Saturn will be low in the sky, brushing past each other in the fading glow of the evening sun, which will make the pair difficult to spot. Trace that line of sight higher to find Venus, the most brilliant planet in the sky.

The astronomical linkup is fairly common and can happen at least every year depending on the number of planets.
