The solar system's planets are set to align in the night sky in a dazzling planetary alignment, colloquially known as a planetary parade, on Friday night.

Mercury will inch closer to Venus until March 9 when the pair reach conjunction, according to In the Sky. A conjunction happens when two planets appear close together in the night sky. Venus will pass within six degrees of Mercury on this date, before the pair sinks towards the horizon and sets around two hours after the Sun.
