When we have five or more planets filing into a small sky area, an alignment is upgraded to parade status. Parade is not an official astronomical term and is used fast, loose and with a touch more whimsy than space experts usually allow for.

This week, seven planets will align in what is known as a planetary parade. This planetary parade will see Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Saturn lining up in the evening sky. Four will probably be visible to the naked eye just after sunset.

Tonight gives stargazers another planet parade to view, but Ohio weather might not cooperate. What to look for and how you can watch.
