NASA is currently organizing several Artemis missions headed to the moon. However, the night sky remains just as enchanting, as astronomical occurrences continue to enthrall individuals around the globe.
One such occurrence is the forthcoming “Planetary Parade,” set to be visible shortly after sunset on February 28. If you enjoy observing the night sky to spot the planets within our solar system, you are in for an extraordinary experience, as six planets will grace the sky, with four being observable to the naked eye. There’s no need for intricate gadgets when seeking a vantage point to witness the upcoming Planetary Parade, as your iPhone or Android device will serve perfectly for two primary reasons: planet discovery applications and photography.
If you are familiar with utilizing your phone’s camera and can adjust the settings (such as utilizing night mode and disabling auto-focus), you will have the capability to capture a wonderful image of the event. After all, these six planets – Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Mercury, and Venus — will be traversing the sky in the upcoming days, appearing to move from east to west as they follow their predictable orbits around the sun.
