Rare 6-Planet Alignment to Dazzle Skywatchers in June 2024
TL;DR
On June 3, 2024, a "planet parade" will occur, featuring the alignment of six planets—Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn—in the predawn sky. Visible in the eastern sky of the Northern Hemisphere, four of these planets can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune require binoculars. This event is part of a series of celestial phenomena in 2024, including a total solar eclipse and meteor showers. Future planetary alignments are also predicted for later in 2024 and 2025.
