Fresh off the excitement of the Perseids meteor shower is a chance to see six planets lined up in the sky at once. These ...

Such an alignment happens when the planets orbit the sun on a relatively flat, disk-shaped plane. While the lineup is not unusual, it is rare for all seven planets to line up at once and won't happen ...

Bottom line is that you can only see about half the planets in this planetary lineup with a naked eye.” The best day to see the spectacle in Europe and North America will be Sunday, about half an hour ...

A stunning photo of a "parade of planets", shows Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Venus, Neptune, and Mercury in alignment from Earth. The image could be the first of its kind.

This happens when the planets’ orbits line them up on one side of the sun from Earth’s perspective. Sign up for our redesigned Morning Update newsletter.

Researchers studied the L 98-59 system and confirmed five rocky planets. One is in the habitable zone and may support liquid water.

The different speeds of the planets mean that, on occasion, several of them can be roughly lined up on the same side of the Sun. From Earth, if the orbits line up just right, we can see multiple ...

While all seven planets could appear in some form in parts of the U.S., not all of them will be visible to the naked eye. Here's what to know.

The line will span 30 degrees, and toward the end of this month, the moon will also make its way toward the lineup (although it won’t fall perfectly in alignment with these planets).

Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn will appear “strung out in a line across the morning sky,” according to NASA. If conditions are clear, stargazers won’t need binoculars or telescopes to see them.

A team led by UdeM researchers confirms a fifth potentially habitable planet around L 98-59, a red dwarf 35 light-years away.
