Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are all visible after sunset, but social media claims about it being a are "planetary alignment" are not correct. Here's how to see it.

A rare astronomical event will light up the night sky in January as six planets will be visible from the naked eye in what is known as a 'planetary parade'

“Saturday evening, January 18: Venus and Saturn will appear nearest to each other. As evening twilight ends at 6:15 p.m. EST, Venus will be 30 degrees above the southwestern horizon with Saturn 2.2 degrees to the lower left. Saturn will set first on the western horizon almost 3 hours later at 9:04 p.m.”
