On August 10, six planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—will line up in an arc in the night sky. The next time that all of these planets will be visible together won’t be until February 2026, so you won’t want to miss this alignment. Moonlight and artificial light can wash out objects in the night sky, so you’ll want to do your skywatching under a clear, moonless sky and away from artificial light. What to ExpectRising first are Neptune and Saturn, followed by Uranus, then Venus and Jupiter, and finally Mercury. Neptune and SaturnFirst, Neptune and Saturn rise together between about 8:30 pm and 10 pm local time in many locations in both hemispheres.
