The solar system's planets are set to align in the night sky in a dazzling planetary alignment, colloquially known as a planetary parade, on Friday night.

For example, you’ll need binoculars or a small telescope to see Uranus and Neptune—so, while the seven planets will be there, spotting them all will require specific equipment. Several of them will only appear low on the western horizon around twilight, but three will be bright and high in the sky after sunset.
