Roscosmos cosmonaut Ivan Vagner shared unique footage of the parade of planets, filmed from the ISS.
Vagner said that on February 28, residents of Earth observed a rare phenomenon when seven planets were visible at once. Despite the name "parade of planets", it is difficult to observe all the planets at the same time due to the limited view of the portholes on the ISS.
According to him, Venus is visible in the first seconds of sunset in the time-lapse video, Saturn should be nearby, and Jupiter appears towards the end, while Mars remained out of the frame, shifting to the left. The view was complemented by the aurora borealis, which made the recording especially impressive.
On February 28, 2025, immediately after sunset, a rare alignment of seven planets of the Solar System occurred – Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars.
