Planet Parade Map: Next Planetary Alignment on November 14, 2026

Dive into our infographic and explore a fascinating celestial sight: a planetary alignment. Also known as a planet parade, it happens when three or more planets appear close together in the same part of the sky as seen from Earth.

The next planetary alignment will take place around November 14, 2026. Before sunrise, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter will appear together in the morning sky, forming a four-planet parade. All four planets will be visible to the naked eye, although Mercury will stay low near the horizon and will be the trickiest to spot.

Use the planetary alignment chart and planet parade map below to see how the planets line up, where to look before sunrise, and why an “alignment” doesn’t mean the planets form a perfectly straight line in space. For more upcoming dates and observing tips, see our planetary alignment guide.
