Known as the "Parade of Planets," the celestial event will feature appearances from Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn through the end of January, according to Farmer's Almanac. Mercury will emerge in the night sky at the end of February, replacing Saturn.

The night sky will feature a parade of its own in the coming weeks, with several planets visible for sky watchers to enjoy.

Worlds will align for a "planetary parade" in January, with four bright and easily visible to the naked eye. But an even better view arrives in February and March. Here's what you need to know.

Look to the southwest sky after sunset on Saturday, as the sliver of a waxing crescent moon nears bright Venus with Saturn just below. The moon and Venus will travel in tandem toward the western horizon, setting a few hours after the sun, according to Stellarium.

In the early evening, look to the southwest and you'll see Venus (the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon) and Saturn. If you’ve got a small telescope, seeing the rings of Saturn is a special treat. In the northeast viewers can find Mars and Jupiter, famous for its bands and large moons.

In the depth of winter, a sweeping view of our solar system will glow in the night sky. In total, six planets will be visible, four of them to the naked eye — Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The best viewing of this cosmic lineup is in the first few hours of darkness.

An extraordinary astronomical phenomenon will illuminate the sky as stargazers are urged to look up to catch a glimpse of the event.
