Planet Parade 2024: If you look towards the east just before sunrise, you'll witness an amazing sight: a parade of six planets, with three visible to the naked eye. In early June, Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn will align in a straight line near a thin crescent moon.

Remarkably, all seven other planets are going to be in the same part of the sky in the first week of June, and you have an opportunity to catch glimpse of a few of them! However, you'll need to plan ahead. Timing is crucial, as are dark skies and a clear view of the horizon.

    Earth is definitely the best. Without it, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

    Never fails, when something great happens around here, it's %*#$#$ cloudy.

    My birthday is on June 3rd. I am also a twin. My twin sister and i always loved being twins 💗 born in Gemini ♊️, the twin sign. Cant wait to wake up early on my birthday and hopefully see this. I live in a coastal village, which has no lights to hinder views. ❤❤

    I clicked on this at just the right time. It’s June the 3rd & sunrise is in another 51 minutes from now. Cheers!

    I'm hoping to drive 10 or so miles out of town to ditch the lights and try to get some photos of it with my kids. My daughter told me about it a couple weeks ago because its on my birthday.

    The next planetary alignment will take place on June 3, 2024. In the early morning, six planets, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will align in the sky. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn may be spotted with the naked eye, but you'll need a telescope or high-powered binoculars to see Neptune and Uranus.

    The chart at 1:05 is one of the most helpful I’ve ever seen to explain apparent magnitude! Thank you!

    Reminds me of the "Jupiter Effect" when a bunch of planets lined up back in 1982. Lots of talk about "end of days" and we all had a giant party out in the street to see what happened. Not much obviously.
  • @SpaceCuriosity2
    Saturn is the best planet btw. So fascinating with these ring, and full of beautiful moons like Titan, one of the possible candidates for a future colony. I made a video about these for those interested

    Remember this only happens from our point of view.
