Six planets are hanging out in early morning skies this month. Here's how to spot them

NEW YORK (AP) — Six planets are hanging out in the sky this month in what's known as a planetary parade . Catch the spectacle while you can because it's the last one of the year.

These linkups happen when several planets appear to line up in the night sky at once. Such parades are fairly common, happening around every year depending on the number of planets. At least one bright planet can be spotted on most nights, weather permitting, according to NASA.
