Astronomer Dean Regas gives us the lowdown on the best things to look out for this winter, from a “planet parade” to the ATLAS comet.

January started out with a meteor shower and now has a planetary alignment in store. Here's what you'll be able to see and when to catch the event.

Coined the ‘parade of planets’, the special celestial event will occur just after sunset and will see six planets — Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn — aligning in the sky. The official astronomical term is planetary alignment, which describes the event when several planets gather closely on one side of the Sun at the same time.

The night sky is putting on a celestial show with a dazzling "planetary parade" featuring six major planets and a bonus comet.

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will appear to line up and be bright enough to see without a telescope or binoculars — and with them, you can see Uranus and Neptune, too.

Celebrate the friendships that mean the world to you. It will remind you about who and what is indispensable so you never take them for granted. Plus, it’ll give you a reason to throw a party and have fun.
