Calling all stargazers and space cadets. Grab your telescopes, binoculars, fish finger sandwiches, and space blankets. The night that many across Spain are calling the stargazing event of the year is almost upon us. It’s here. Are you ready?

On Friday, February 28, 2025, all seven planets visible from Earth will appear in a stunning row across the sky. Miss it, and you’ll be waiting until 2492 for another chance. That’s right, this is special. So, read on and find out how to watch this once-in-a-lifetime event before it disappears into thin air.

What’s really happening in this rare planetary parade?

According to NASA, these ‘line-ups’ are actually an optical illusion. The planets aren’t neatly queuing up; they simply appear to be aligned from our Earthly vantage point. This is because all planets orbit the Sun along a flat plane, called the ecliptic. Every now and then, they seem to cluster together – but in reality, they’re still light-years apart.

Scientists avoid calling it a true ‘alignment’ and prefer the term ‘planetary parade’. After all, these celestial giants are always moving, never standing still for a perfect pose. What’s special is seeing multiple bright planets in the same section of the sky at once.

When five or six planets line up, it’s a relatively common occurrence. In fact, we’ve already had one this year – on January 21 – and there’s another coming on August 11.

However, the February 28 alignment is special because it involves all seven planets visible from Earth: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. That’s a line-up that only happens once in several centuries.

How to catch the planetary parade from Spain

To make the most of this celestial event, follow these expert tips:

Escape the city lights – Find a dark, open space away from streetlamps and buildings. Light pollution is the biggest enemy of stargazing.

Use binoculars or a telescope – While Venus and Jupiter will be visible to the naked eye, spotting Uranus is a painstaking experience and seeing Neptune will require a bit of help.

Get a star map or an app, as navigating the night sky can be tricky. Download an astronomy app to help pinpoint the planets.

Look for Venus first – It’s the brightest of the lot and will stand out like a cosmic lighthouse. Once you’ve spotted it, you can start identifying the others.
