A beautiful planet parade is on the way! ✨
On and around April 18, 2026, four planets — Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune — will gather in the morning sky before sunrise.
This kind of event is called a planetary alignment, or “planet parade.” It doesn’t mean the planets form a perfectly straight line in space. Instead, from our point of view on Earth, they appear grouped together along the ecliptic — the path the Sun follows across the sky.
This upcoming alignment is a great reason to start planning ahead, especially since visibility depends a lot on where you are. In some places, three planets may be visible to the naked eye, while Neptune will be much more challenging to spot.
