It depends on what you mean by "alignment." There have been plenty of times that all the planets have been on more or less the same side of the Sun; there probably has never been a precise alignment (within, say, a few degrees) of all the planets simultaneously.
In our solar system, there are eight recognized planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. The total number of planets outside of our solar system can only be hypothesized, but evidences of new planets are being discovered at an ever increasing rate.
Well the number of planets in our solar system is actually a bit different now. Remembering that there used to be 9 planets is perfectly okay, but today we recognize only 8 planets in our solar system. It's all a part of the ever-changing nature of our beautiful universe.
There are no planets in the constellation Ursa Major. This constellation is home to many stars, including the well-known star cluster known as the Big Dipper or the Plough. However, planets in our solar system can be seen passing through or near Ursa Major at different times due to their orbits.
Astronauts have visited the Moon, which is not a planet but a natural satellite of Earth. Other than the Moon, astronauts have not visited any other planets in our solar system. Only unmanned spacecraft have been sent to explore other planets.
There are two terrestrial planets in the solar system with ever-changing surfaces: Mars, which constantly undergoes minor changes due to sandstorms, and Venus, the surface of which is molten.
Yes more than you can ever imagine

no one knows because no one can travel to the edge of the ever-expanding universe
gravitational pull..also for all we know is that the universe goes on for ever maybe you meam the solar system?
Two or three planets align from time to time, but an alignment of all the planets would never happen. The chances of the planets ever lining up in our lifetime is zero. The chances of the planets ever lining up has been calculated to be about once every 8.6 x 1046 years. That's 86 billion, trillion, trillion, trillion years. The age of the Solar System is only about 4.6 x 109 years or 4.6 billion years and the Universe is only about 13.75 billion years old.
He may easily have seen all of the planets in our solar system at one time or another, but the only one he or anybody else ever walked on is the Earth.
Yes It's not my solar system.
The planets in our Solar System have existed pretty much as long as the Solar System - about 4.6 billion years. Planets in other, older, solar systems may have existed quite a bit longer - almost as long as the Universe (which is 13.8 billion years old).
In the words of my physics teacher 'Not in your lifetime!' Planets form from a disk of dust and gas when the star is just a proto-star. Planets cannot form after the star has been formed.

No, nobody has ever left the solar system.
