As reported Digital lookMonday (24), a special phenomenon can be seen in the sky: the seven planet appearance at the same time, they have treated the media as “alignment of planets”. This event will only happen within 400 years, which makes it very rare.
Before you know the next planet alignment dates, let us understand this astronomical event.
In the next few days, four planets (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars) will be clearly visible with a pure eye. Saturn will be seen as the hardest goal, the sun and the Neptune, can be seen only through the long distance of the Earth, through prislar.
According to Marcelo Zurita, the President of the Parachian Association, the Astronomical Society (SAB), Meteoros (Bramon) and the columnist observation network of the Brazilian Digital lookThe term “alignment” is not the most appropriate in this case.
“Because all the planets share almost the same orbital shot, the sky always appears in the same line, ecliptic. Therefore, alignment occurs only when two or more stars are lined up on the floor,” explained the white. “The term applied is the” Planet parade “, and this time it is worth noting that the angular side between the line” line “will be the smallest of the millennium.”
Astronomical observation guide Starwalk space It clearly explains the difference between appointments:
- Alignment of the planet The astronomical term used to describe the event that meet several planets, apparently close, on the same side of the sun.
- Planetary parade It is a collequent term, in a broader sense, several planets are one night in a night.

This phenomenon has been announced as a rare event once again will repeat May 6, 2492. On this day, all the planets on the solar system, including the earth, will meet on the same side of the sun.
Some other alignment before this dateBut there is no short angle, among the bodies involved, this is the same case as this year’s event.
- September 8, 2040: The five planets visible on the bare eyes (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Satno) will be aligned in the sky in the sky, the growth phase between the Moon Venus and Saturn.
- March 15, 2080: Six planets (Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Uranus) will be visible in the morning sky. This alignment is particularly remarkable because Saturn and Jupiter will have the “great conjunction”, with only six minutes.
