Six of our cosmic neighbors are expected to line up across the night sky tonight, in what has been dubbed a "planetary parade". Throughout much of January and February, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be visible splayed out in a long arc across the heavens, with Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn being visible to the naked eye.

"In January, you'll have the opportunity to take in four bright planets in a sweeping view" said Preston Dyches of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a video guide to January's night sky. "These multi-planet viewing opportunities aren't super rare, but they don't happen every year so it's worth checking out."

A rare parade of planets will light up the night sky throughout January. Six planets will be in alignment for the rest of the month – four of which will be visible with the naked eye, Preston Dyches, public engagement specialist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and host of NASA's "What's Up" skywatching series, told ABC News.

"I like to use the term 'planetary parade,' because it's a moment where all the planets appear to be lined up in the sky." You'll be able to see these planets at nighttime anywhere in the world, including right here in central Indiana.
