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.

Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn can be spotted without special equipment, with Uranus and Neptune requiring a telescope.

While the planets will be visible throughout the month, the best time to view the planet parade will be between Jan. 21 and Feb. 21, per CNET. While seeing the planets in the evening sky isn't a rare sighting," NASA says it's less common "seeing four or even five bright planets at once, which doesn't happen every year."
