The February 2026 Alignment: Details and Observability

The upcoming event will involve six planets—Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter— aligned over an arc spanning approximately 100-130 degrees in the evening sky. Mars, which is on the other side of the Sun during this time, will not be part of the viewing but will be visible in the pre-dawn hours.

This alignment is particularly noteworthy because it will be observable after sunset, making it accessible to the general public. The optimal viewing date is the evening of February 28, 2026, with the best conditions occurring shortly after 6:30 PM.
