French astrophotographer Gwenaël Blanck took the photo on Feb. 1 from the banks of the Seine river in Paris .

It shows a bright crescent moon and one of our closest planetary neighbors almost perfectly aligned.

The image is the result of a rare "parade of planets" that will peak later this month .

The next time we will see a similar alignment of the planets will be October 2028 .
