Although it's being mistakenly promoted as a "rare planetary alignment," one of the best "planet parades" in half a century is now taking place. Here's how to see it.

Because planets always appear in a line, the alignment isn't anything out of the norm. What's less common is seeing so many bright planets at once.

The best viewing for January's planetary parade is about 90 minutes after sunset, in as dark and clear a spot as you can find. Use binoculars or a telescope for an even better look. The alignment will be visible into February.
