Did you miss the last planetary alignment in January? Well, you're in luck. The next one is on Feb. 28 and is viewable from Delaware.

In January, a rare planetary alignment occurred as Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Saturn all were visible in the night sky from Earth.

I pick out North America’s celestial highlights for the week ahead (which also applies to northern hemisphere mid-northern latitudes).

Mercury has a rocky surface when, facing the sun, can reach highs of 800 degrees while overnight lows could reach minus 290 degrees, according to the space agency. Venus holds the crown of the hottest planet in the solar system, at 900 degrees.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune align in a rare celestial event, the last until 2040—coinciding with Mahakumbh’s finale.
