Starting February 26 until February 28, New Yorkers will have the rare opportunity to view an alignment of seven planets—Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune—along the Milky Way. The alignment is expected to be most visible just after sunset. Though recent forecasts indicate overcast skies on February 27, the best viewing opportunities are anticipated on the opening and closing nights. A telescope or binoculars will enhance the experience, especially for spotting Uranus and Neptune, which are typically too dim for the naked eye.
This week, New Yorkers will witness a rare planetary phenomenon as seven planets align, visible from February 26 to February 28 after sunset.
The best viewing will be tonight or Friday, as clouds may obscure visibility on Thursday. A telescope or binoculars are recommended for optimal viewing.
