If you're fascinated by the night sky, tools like the Bell Museum’s star map and planetarium apps such as Stellarium Mobile offer an excellent way to delve deeper into celestial events. These resources not only help identify the upcoming planetary alignment but also allow users to explore stars, constellations, comets, and satellites with ease.
In an exciting celestial event, a planetary parade is set to occur from February 23-25. During this period, seven planets will align spectacularly in the night sky. However, it's important to note that not all these planets will be visible to the naked eye, making tools like telescopes and planetarium apps invaluable for enthusiasts.
