Planetary parade: What is it and how can you see it?
If you look up at the night's sky, you will be able to see Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Saturn line up. Though not all planets will be visible to the naked eye. Most of the parade will look like extra bright stars, however Neptune and Uranus will require binoculars or a telescope to see.
