Spectacular Planetary Parade very soon!

Rare alignment of 5 planets in the night sky very soon on June 24, 2022 before sunrise and it won't be seen again until the next 18 years.


The month of June is almost over, but wait before that let me share with you another spectacular phenomenon to watch for before sunrise tomorrow, June 24 2022.

At the end of June, five Solar System planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn accompanied by the crescent Moon will line up in the sky. They called it the "Planetary Parade" but there's no exact definition to this astronomical event.


According to NASA, the next spectacular planet parade will happen on September 8, 2040. Five naked-eye planets will be located within a circle of about 10 degrees in diameter. The alignment will include Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The crescent Moon will also be visible, positioned between Venus and Saturn. The best time for observations will be around 19:30 local time.


"Three planets align on one side of the Sun simultaneously two times a year, four planets – once a year, five planets – once in every nineteen years, and all eight planets of the Solar System – once in about one hundred seventy years." starwalk.space
