February ends with alignment of 6 planets

Six planets align in the night sky to end the month of February.

According to PAGASA, the "rare" planetary alignment on Saturday, February 28, features Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Mercury, and Venus.

"Of these, only Jupiter and Saturn will be easily visible to the naked eye, while Mercury and Venus will appear very low along the western horizon. Neptune and Uranus, on the other hand, will require a modest telescope or high-powered binoculars for observation," PAGASA said. 

"It is important to note that planetary alignments are visual phenomena and have no direct physical effect on Earth." —VBL, GMA Integrated News
