#PlanetaryParade excitement is fantastic! #DoLookUp But I'm baffled by the media saying 25th Jan is a "once in a lifetime event" 🔭🧪
The awesome foursome Mars, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn have been on display for weeks + Neptune & Uranus if you have a telescope. We won't see Mercury until late Feb🤔

Mercury! The planet is close to the Sun, the horizon, through the trees and above the rooftops but there she is, the 'winged messager!' Press click on your phones for this one. #astronomy #astrophotography #planetaryparade @stormhour.bsky.social @photohour.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social

My neighbour was sad - tonight's poor cloud forecast meant she would "miss the great #planetaryparade". Good news: this is an ongoing phenomenon so #DoLookUp whenever your skies clear!
Mercury is in the sunset West, getting easier to spot as days pass! Venus, Jupiter & Mars resplendent as ever. 🔭

And if you want to know more about the #planetaryparade and why the planets always parade along a line that arcs across our sky, check out this thread from last year's 7-planet parade....

Planets always "line up" across the night sky. Imagine our solar system like a fried egg. The Sun is the yoke & the planets circle around on the egg white. When we look up into the 3D night sky, the 2D egg white makes a line that the planets move back and forth along. 🧵2/6

How are the #planetaryparade fans doing tonight? Clear skies here so I took up the challenge!
😎Jupiter (easy - right of the moon)
👍Venus (bright on the W horizon)
👌Saturn (trickier - need to know where to look)
🤷♀️Mercury (in hiding)
🙅♀️Neptune and Uranus (needs 🔭)

#PlanetaryParade fans: all 7 planets are now in the sky for ~1hr after sunset. Mercury joins the pack low on the Western horizon but it's hard to see, hiding in the sunset glare with Saturn. Tried to catch it this evening, but the weather Gods had other plans so here's Venus and Jupiter instead! 🧪🔭

✨ Do you know the connection between our wild plants and tomorrow's Planetary Parade? ✨🌌
All seven planets in our solar system will align tomorrow in a rare celestial event!
To celebrate, we wanted to explore the plants that are connected to our planets through mythology✨

In conclusion, I love a good #PlanetaryParade but this is a ~2month extravaganza! #DoLookUp Venus is aeroplane-bright in the West, Mars super red in the East and Jupiter shining bright up above.
Wishing you all clear skies! 🔭🧪 🧵/end
