Qatar is set to witness a spectacular celestial event this January, as four of our solar system’s planets will be visible to the naked eye in the Qatari skies. On 15 January 2025, Qatar Calendar House shared exciting news about this unique astronomical phenomenon – a “planet parade.” This event, where multiple planets align and appear in the night sky at the same time, is set to take place throughout January 2025.
According to Qatar Calendar House, the planet parade will feature four prominent planets: Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. The planets will be visible at different points in the sky, making this an easy and captivating sight for skywatchers across Qatar.
- Venus and Saturn will be visible towards the southwest of the sky.
- Jupiter and Mars will be visible on the eastern horizon.
The best time to observe this stunning event will be just after sunset, when the planets are most visible and prominent in the twilight sky.
This rare celestial alignment will remain visible until the end of January or the beginning of February 2025, so make sure to get out and enjoy the view while it lasts!
For those hoping to catch this natural spectacle, the event promises to be an excellent opportunity for amateur astronomers and curious observers alike to witness the wonder of our neighboring planets.
