"Stunning Planetary Parade Captured in Rare Alignment"
TL;DR
Astrophotographer Josh Dury captured a rare "parade of planets" on June 1, showing six planets—Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—aligned in the predawn sky over The Mendip Hills in the U.K. The stunning image, created using composite long exposures, also features a crescent moon and highlights the vast distances between the planets despite their apparent proximity from Earth's perspective.
