This January, the night sky promises a celestial spectacle as four planets dance across the sky. Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars are set to dazzle stargazers.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - NASA announced that January will be an eventful month for stargazers, as six planets will be visible in the night sky, four of which can be seen with the naked eye.

A very rare treat is about to grace Earth's night skies.

From the northern lights ringing in the New Year to a spectacular meteor shower, January is shaping up to be an exciting month for stargazers. In fact, every night this month there is something to admire in the night sky, as a four-planet conjunction of Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars will be visible throughout January.

J anuary is a good month for interesting planetary alignment. You will have a lot going on in the night sky. For most of the month, six out of the eight planets will be visible in the heavens. Mercury is currently on the other side of the Sun and you are standing on number eight (unless you are on the International Space Station).

On the evening of Jan. 10, Venus will reach its greatest eastern elongation — its easternmost distance from the sun. This is one of the best times of the year for Venus viewing. Catch the planet just below Saturn in the southwest sky after sunset; it will set beneath the western horizon around 9:30 p.m., according to stargazing site Stellarium.

Stargazers get ready as this January into February is the chance to catch one of the best planetary displays for years. This is known as planetary alignment - or a planet parade. You'll be able to spot some celestial bodies with just your eyes while others can be seen through a telescope.

On January 25, 2025, the cosmos will present a spectacular event known as a planetary alignment, where all major planets in our solar system will line up in a harmonious formation. This celestial phenomenon is not merely a visual delight;
