Six of our cosmic neighbors are expected to line up across the night sky tonight, in what has been dubbed a "planetary parade". Throughout much of January and February, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be visible splayed out in a long arc across the heavens, with Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn being visible to the naked eye.

Six planets are lining up in a row from our Earthly view of the cosmos, in a spectacle that'll be visible in January through to February.
