Catch This Rare Celestial Event on Jun 4

Six planets will be visible in a line in the eastern sky between June 3rd to 7th 2024 in an event called `The Parade of Planets`.

This rare astronomical event is called plantary alignment. Although it is common for three or four planets to align, six planets aligning is a rare occurence.

This event occurs when most of the planets orbit around the same side of the sun, which appears as if all the planets are in a single line.

Between the first week in June, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will be visible in the eastern sky.

The order of planets visible in the sky from left to right will be Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn.

The best time to view this event would be very early in the morning, an hour before the sun rises on the days between June 3rd and 7th.

Although Jupiter, Mars, and Uranus will be visible to the naked eye, it`ll be difficult to spot Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury without a telescope.
