Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are all visible after sunset, but social media claims about it being a rare "planetary alignment" are not correct. Here's how to see it.

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will be visible together all month after dark, NASA reports. The four planets have been visible together since December and will be visible through February, as well. You may also catch a glimpse of Neptune and Uranus through a telescope, but they won’t be shining as brightly.

Six planets will be in alignment this weekend, with four of them shining bright in one sweeping view. What to know about the planet parade.

The planet parade will be visible all month, but Tuesday, Jan. 21 will be a particularly good time to see it, according to Forbes. The moon will be in its last quarter phase and will only appear half-lit. NASA reports Venus and Saturn will appear the closest Jan. 17 and Saturday, Jan. 18.
