Lineups of four or five planets occur every few years, according to NASA. In late August 2025, four planets will be visible before sunrise, and in late October 2028, five planets will be visible at once before sunrise. Another five-planet alignment will occur in late February 2034, with the planets visible after sunset.

The solar system's planets are set to align in the night sky in a dazzling planetary alignment, colloquially known as a planetary parade, on Friday night.

What does it mean when seven planets align in the night sky? Tonight the heavens are putting on a show that won’t be repeated for over a decade. Seven planets will align in a stunning “planetary parade” visible shortly after sunset.
