UAE To See Rare 6-Planet Alignment TONIGHT - See Mars, Jupiter & More With Your Naked Eye

UAE To See Rare 6-Planet Alignment TONIGHT – See Mars, Jupiter & More With Your Naked Eye

Tonight, January 21st, stargazers in the UAE are in for a celestial treat as 6 planets – Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – align in the night sky! Planetary alignments of 5 or more planets are quite rare, and while conjunctions of 2 planets happen fairly often, this kind of alignment is an event you don’t want to miss. If you’ve been looking for a sign from the universe, what better sign than to watch the planets of our solar system align right before your eyes? I have all the mesmerising details you need to know, so keep reading to find out more – and if you make it to the end, I’ll even share details on the best way you can view the Planet Parade in the UAE!

A Parade Of Planets Across The Night Sky

I’ve been able to spot Mars in the past, but I would have never thought that seeing Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars all in one clustered part of the night sky would be possible in the UAE. The best part is that you’ll get to have a spectacular view of Venus and Saturn early today evening, around 8 PM, while the rest of the planets remain visible late into the night. This means you already have a perfect sunset picture in the bag for your saga of Insta stories (don’t pretend like you won’t be documenting every speck of dust you see in the sky, thinking it’s Jupiter until you spot the real deal).

What Happens If I Miss The Planet Parade This Month?

Don’t stress if you can’t make it out to the desert tonight to see the start of the Planetary alignment, this celestial event will continue to grace the skies until mid to late February. However, keep in mind that the positions of the planets will gradually shift as the weeks progress. And if you’re wondering when the next big alignments will happen, there are 2 more 5-planet alignments coming up later this year. So, be sure to stay tuned to Gulf Buzz to know exactly when they will happen! But after that, we’ll have to wait until 2040 for another spectacular gathering of this scale.

Tips For The Best Way To View The Alignment

For the best viewing experience, give your eyes 20-30 minutes to adjust to the dark once you’re out in the desert. Head to a spot as far away from artificial light pollution that you can get and start observing after sunset. The planets will form an arc stretching from east to west, with Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn visible to the naked eye. Uranus and Neptune will require binoculars or a telescope to spot. If you’re unsure where to look, apps like Stellarium can help you locate the planets with ease.

The Best Seat In The House

And finally, the part you’ve been waiting for – where’s the best seat in the house? For an unforgettable experience, head to Al Qudra Desert and join the Dubai Astronomy Group’s special planetary alignment event. Initially planned for January 25, this stargazing session has been extended to January 26 due to high demand. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Photography Opportunities: Capture stunning photos of the planets through the telescope
  • Date & Time: January 25th, January 26th and February 1st. Please be there by 6 PM.
