This year’s DOFIDA promises to be particularly exciting, focusing on a series of rare and captivating astronomical events that will light up the skies throughout 2025. “The parade of the planets in 2025 is one of the rare events in which the five closest planets to Earth can be seen in one night," says Gerhana Puananadra Putri, a researcher at BRIN’s Space Research Center. "Four of them – Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – are visible to the naked eye."
But that’s not all. 2025 will also see a dazzling display of meteor showers. “Meteor showers are annual events caused by dust left by comets and asteroids in Earth’s orbit,” explains Gerhana. “When the Earth passes through this area of dust, a meteor shower will be visible in the sky.

### A Parade of Planets
**World Today News:** Gerhana, the article mentions a rare “parade of planets” in 2025. Could you elaborate on this event and its importance?
**Gerhana Puananadra Putri:** Absolutely! In 2025, we’ll witness a rare alignment where five planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn – will be visible in the night sky simultaneously. This event happens because the planets’ orbits align in a way that allows us to see them clustered together from Earth. While all five planets are technically visible, Mercury will be challenging to spot due to its proximity to the Sun.
**World Today News:** This sounds amazing! How often does this type of planetary alignment occur?
**Gerhana Puananadra Putri:** These alignments are relatively rare, happening only a few times per century.The 2025 alignment offers a unique possibility for skywatchers to observe all these planets with the naked eye, making it a celestial event not to be missed.
### Meteor Showers: Celestial Fireworks

**Gerhana Puananadra Putri:** Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through trails of debris left behind by comets and asteroids. These debris particles, ranging in size from grains of sand to pebbles, burn up upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, creating streaks of light we see as meteors.
**World Today News:** Is there one particular meteor shower that stands out?
**Gerhana Puananadra Putri:** The Perseids meteor shower, peaking in August, is frequently enough considered one of the most reliable and active annual meteor showers. Under ideal conditions, observers can see up to 100 meteors per hour.
