A planetary alignment will occur in Uzbekistan's sky on February 28, according to the Astronomy Institute of the Academy of Sciences.

The alignment will involve 6 planets: Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter. It will be visible across all regions of Uzbekistan after sunset.

Only 4 planets can be seen with the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter. Neptune and Uranus require optical equipment like telescopes or binoculars due to their faintness.

Mercury and Venus will be positioned near the horizon, making them harder to observe. Saturn, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury will cluster closely together, requiring an unobstructed western horizon for viewing.

Mars will not participate in this alignment as it sets before the Sun.

The Astronomy Institute noted that this is a predictable astronomical event and cautioned against linking it to predictions about human fate or future.
