Though the planets are always “aligned,” seeing more than four in the sky is more uncommon. February’s lineup is a chance to glimpse all seven in one sweeping view.

To help people view the parade, Mr Dury has shared photographs detailing where the planets are appearing in the sky. "The bright planets will certainly be visible like Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. "For the dimmer planets, Uranus and Neptune, you may want to use a pair of binoculars or a small telescope to see those," he said.

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