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.

A six-pack of planets will line up and light up the night sky this month, folks. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align for our viewing pleasure — from now until mid-February. When was the last time all the planets aligned?

Because planets always appear in a line, the alignment isn't anything out of the norm. What's less common is seeing so many bright planets at once.
