It might be hard spotting Venus on Valentine's Day in Indiana because of cloudy weather. February, however, is still the best month to see it.

Step outside and let the velvety night sky embrace you and your loved ones. Bask in the soft glow of Venus, the planet of love, casting its shimmering light upon your evening. Feel the magic of the cosmos as you make a wish on this celestial beacon, or simply savor the quiet serenity under a blanket of stars.

Six planets are part of the alignment, which will last until Feb. 18. Mercury will join the alignment later in the month.

Venus – the planet named after the Roman goddess of love – will shine brightest this Valentine's Day in a rare cosmic coincidence.
