"So a planetary parade people might often think of as planets lining up in the sky, or more so in space. So when we see pictures from NASA or in textbooks, they’re often drawn side by side. When we talk about a planetary parade as something you can see in the sky it’s that the planets appear in a roughly line-like position across the sky."

"So we have the sun at the centre of our solar system, and then we know that planets orbit around it. And here’s our Earth. And from the Earth, when we look towards the more western part of the sky after sunset, probably around 6 or 7:00pm, we’ll see planets like Venus, Saturn and even Neptune that may be visible. But if we look towards the other part of the sky at roughly the same time, too, we’ll see Jupiter and Uranus and then Mars even further over to the east."

"So what’s awesome about trying to look for planets in the sky is that actually quite a few of them are visible to the naked eye. So you don’t need any tools, no binoculars or telescopes. So if you want to look for the naked eye planets, as we call them, then Venus and Saturn over in the western part of the sky, they’ll be visible to the eye. And then you should be able to spot Jupiter and Mars further over to the east. Venus and Jupiter typically are the brightest ones."

"Planetary alignments that are minor, like two to three planets happen very often, especially with the inner planets. They can happen every few months. But when you get out to the gas giants, since they’re very far out there, have bigger orbits moving a little bit slower, those occur about every few decades, I’d say, but they persist for a long period of time. So about every 20 years we have an alignment between Jupiter and Saturn, and it’ll persist for quite a bit of time, a few decades in itself. So I’d say those 4 to 6 planet alignments can be frequent but it depends on kind of where you are in its cycle."
