Aliens come and blow up the White House - much to the enjoyment of other countries as Dubya is eliminated. But then the aliens destroy Jerusalem and the world calls on Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones to take care of the aliens.

Sometimes you can see a pretty cluster of planets in the night sky. On April 6, 2000 for example, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the crescent Moon did fit inside a circle on the sky 9 degrees wide. How wide is 9 degrees? The full Moon is one half of a degree wide, so the planets will fit inside an area eighteen full Moons across. This unusual and beautiful sight !
On May 5,2000 even more planets were aligned. Five of them along with the Moon and the Sun was clustered in an area of the sky as wide as fifty full Moons. That's a pretty wide area!
When astronomers talk about planetary alignments, they don't mean that the planets are lined up perfectly. Usually it simply means that the planets are in the same area of the sky.
There is an alignment like the one on May 5 every 57 years or so. The last time it happened was in 1962 when the same group of planets converged on an area of the sky 17 degrees across. There was also a total solar eclipse. Was the Earth destroyed? No! The Earth has never been &or will be destroyed by a planetary alignment.

Plantes??? Well I know what you mean anyway. Really nothing noticeable is different when the planets align. The gravity will not be great enough to mess anything up it is really just a saying like "once in a blue moon". MAC

If the concept of the 12 planets in Solar System is finally accept an alignment of them is impossible.

The planets do not align all at once if all the planets did align the gravity would be to great and they would all come crashing together.

We will not be able to see any of them except for Jupiter and Mars. What's really interesting is that we might see Mars on top of Jupiter, which, while only visible through a telescope, would nonetheless make for a fascinating image. Also, the Sun would be eclipsed by Venus, and thus its intensity would drop slightly here on Earth.

If ever all the planets do align, well, they will just more in one direction. And there will be not danger there.

I don't know about 'plantes'... but when, and only when, all the 'planets' align Kaiser Wilhelm gets laid.

Nothing - you get to listen to all the crazy people say something will happen because 'of all that gravity'.
