Parade of planets visible tonight for Long Islanders and other earthlings
Beginning around sunset, Saturn will be situated closest to the horizon, followed by Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars higher in the sky. While Neptune and Uranus also are within Earth’s line of sight, they’ll require binoculars or a telescope and are extremely difficult to locate, astronomers say.
7-planet parade will be visible on last day of February
According to NASA, multi-planet lineups are visible "every few years," but a seven-planet alignment is particularly uncommon, as each planet's orbit varies, with some moving more quickly and Mercury, in particular, being visible during its 88-day orbit for only "a couple of weeks at a time" each year.
