  • When the planetary parade was at its best view in Kolkata, Bengaluru and Dehradun, the national capital recorded an AQI of 289. Light rain also impacted visibility in some parts of the city.

The article discusses how Delhi, due to its severe pollution, is missing out on a rare celestial event known as the "planetary parade," where Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune align in the sky. While the rest of India is enjoying this astronomical spectacle through watch parties and stargazing events, Delhi's residents are unable to witness it because of the city's notorious smog. The pollution not only obscures the view of the planets but also poses health risks, highlighting the broader issue of environmental degradation in the capital. Meanwhile, other parts of India are making the most of this event, with enthusiasts gathering to observe and celebrate this alignment, which is a significant event for both amateur and professional astronomers.
