00:29Some people are so happy with the news that all the planets in our solar system will be scattered this January.
00:38But before you get excited, let's find out if this is true or fake news.
00:43The answer is, there will be a planetary alignment this January, but not all the planets.
00:49According to Belgian meteorologist Jean Meuse,
00:52it is a rare opportunity for all the planets in our solar system to align,
00:56which is said to happen every 396 billion years.
01:00That's longer than the age of our sun, which is about 4 billion years old.
01:05So it is likely that we will witness all the planets align in our lifetime.
01:10It is likely to happen in a month.
01:13But this is just a guess.
01:15In the planetary alignment this month, six planets will be seen at the same time in our night sky.
01:20The alignment is wrong, it is visible.
01:23But their idea of alignment is different.
01:26The alignment that is happening now is in the sky.
01:30From our perspective, it is still a straight line.
01:33Because that's where the placement of planets viewed from Earth.
01:38But in outer space, they are not really aligned.
01:41But if you want to see more in detail, we will use binoculars or a small telescope.
01:47If you don't have one available, you can go to the Astronomical Observatory.
01:54This is called a planetary parade.
01:56What are these planets?
01:58What are these planets?
02:06In the planetary parade this month,
02:09the planets Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn will be seen by our eyes,
02:14no matter what equipment or device we use.
02:17To spot Neptune and Uranus, we need a high-power viewing device like a telescope.
02:24The planetary parade will take place every year.
02:27But the alignment of 6 or 7 planets, as we will witness this month,
02:32will be considered more difficult.
02:34So let's make the most of it.
02:36Meanwhile, to watch the trivia behind the viral news,
