A rare planetary alignment (often called a “planet parade”) is happening tonight — and we’re watching it LIVE through my backyard telescope in Texas.

✅ Best viewing window: 30–60 minutes after local sunset (roughly around 6:00–6:30 PM Central for our area).
Several planets will appear strung along the ecliptic — not perfectly “stacked” in one spot, but spread across the sky in a dramatic lineup.

In tonight’s livestream:
• Which planets you can see with your eyes vs binoculars/telescope
• Where to look (low western horizon first)
• Why alignments happen (real orbital mechanics)
• Real-time tracking + telescope views (weather permitting)

Location: Leander, TX
Clear skies, and let’s see how many we can catch tonight. 🌌
