Close...the planets are _always_ in a line (the "ecliptic"), but what makes January 2025 special is that we'll be able to see six of them at once. It's not quite a 'planetary alignment' -- that's when they form a line between Earth and the Sun such that they appear to us to be on top of each other. Sorry to be the 'ackshualllyyy...' guy, but...guess I am. Here's more info from [EarthSky](https://earthsky.org/tonight/planetary-alignment-january-25-2025/). Just a friendly FYI. 🤙🏻
