We go to multiple shows and see multiple events. Have you ever witnessed the show put on by the planets? We have seen on multiple occasions astronomers speaking about planet gazing with naked eye.
But recently we all witnessed magic, a rare cosmic event where all the seven planets aligning in a line in their own axis.
On the special day 2025 Feb 28th, planets dazzled Earthlings with their spectacular view in night sky after sunset. Many of us were able to view this magical show of planets. Some planets could be seen with naked eye.
Planets like Uranus, Neptune can be seen through telescope 🔠as the distance between these planets and Earth is enormous. Rest of the planets -Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were visible through naked eyes.

As a space enthusiastic person, I was waiting for this spectacle from many days. Finally the days came and wait over. Exactly after sunset, I went on planet watch. That day it was damn cloudy,I thought we saw planet Venus, (my spouse, daughter and I). We happily ventured outside and were able to see at least one planet.
Next day I came to know it was not Venus, it is the second biggest planet in the Solar system, the Saturn along with ring.I felt ecstatic when I realized the planet I saw is none other than Saturn on planet parade. Above is the photo from February 28th 2025, time of photo captured 6:15 to 6:20 pm.
Lucky day 🤞

On the Feb 1st 2025, first time I saw planet Venus in my life. February and March of 2025 gave me a chance to view the planets. I am feeling ecstatic as space enthusiastic person, “I got a chance to view planet Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn”.
Note: To watch Venus in the night sky look for the planet in the west direction. For Mars ,look in the East direction or the mid-sky.
