Maha Kumbh 2025 to end with all seven planets of Solar System visible from India

India Today  

With Maha Kumbh 2025 inching closer to an end, a rare astronomical phenomenon is underway in the skies above Earth. All seven planets of our solar system — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — will be visible in the night sky from India. This planetary parade, which began in January 2025 with the visibility of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, will culminate in February when Mercury joins the lineup. During this planetary parade, observers can expect to see five planets without any optical aid: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. According to astronomers, mid-August 2025 will offer another opportunity to witness a similar spectacle with six planets visible in the morning sky.
