At the end of February 2026, six planets—Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune—will align with a nearly full moon in the evening sky. Shortly after sunset, all will appear above the horizon, creating the first major planetary alignment of the year. Jupiter will be the brightest and easiest to spot high in the southern sky near the moon, while Saturn, Venus, and Mercury cluster low in the west, best viewed about 45 minutes after sunset. Uranus and Neptune will require binoculars or a telescope. The alignment continues into early March, though Mercury will soon fade from view. https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/6-planets-moon-will-align-in-february-but-theres-a-catch/1860418
