The alignment of the five planets has not been seen in 18 years, and this month will be the perfect time to see what is called the “Parade of Planets,” according to a report.

Those who want to witness the “Parade of Planets” will not require a telescope to do so, as the alignment will be visible to the human eye, the report noted.

Friday will be the best day to see the planet parade, according to the report.
