Seven planets to align in the sky next month: What it means

This January and February, a rare planetary alignment featuring Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will be visible, with Mercury joining in late February for a seven-planet display. While planetary alignments have little impact on Earth, they have advanced space exploration, as seen with Nasa’s Voyager missions. These alignments also aid in studying exoplanets and distant galaxies. The event raises the possibility of alien civilizations observing our Solar System for similar research.
