"Stargazing Delights: Moon and 5 Planets Align in July 2023"

In July, the moon will pass close to five planets in the night sky, including Saturn and Jupiter before sunrise, and Mercury, Venus, and Mars after sunset. These celestial events will be visible to the naked eye from anywhere in the world with clear skies, but stargazing binoculars or a small telescope will enhance the view. The moon will be in conjunction with Saturn on July 7, Jupiter on July 11, and Mercury, Venus, and Mars from July 19 to July 21. On July 20, the crescent moon will be easier to see alongside Mars and Venus, and on July 21, it will align with Mars and Venus. Mercury will continue to rise above Venus in the following days.
