Question
On what date will all eight planets align in line on the same side of the sun?
(Statement of Personal Opinion: Despite the IAU stating that Pluto is not a planet, I was brought up that the Solar System had nine planets and that Pluto was such a planet)
Eight planet alignments only happen once an aeon (100 thousand million years)
