Summary at a Glance

Seven planets grace the sky at the end of February in what's known as a planetary parade, though some will be difficult to spot with the naked eye.

A parade of four or five planets visible to the naked eye happens every few years, according to NASA.

Six planets were visible in January — four to the naked eye — and now a dim Mercury joins the gang.

A similar parade took place last June, but only two planets could be seen without any special equipment.

These planetary hangouts happen when several planets appear to line up in the night sky at once.
