Celestial Spectacle: Six-Planet Parade Dazzles Indian Skies

A rare astronomical event captivated stargazers across India as six planets aligned in a celestial parade on January 25, 2025. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune formed a stunning arc across the night sky, visible for several hours after sunset. While four planets could be seen with the naked eye, telescopes were required to spot Uranus and Neptune. Astronomy enthusiasts flocked to dark sky locations like Nandi Hills and Chikkamagaluru for optimal viewing. This cosmic display, occurring once every 396 years, offered a unique opportunity to appreciate the wonders of our solar system.
