A rare event: Six planets are meeting, it will last for a week

It is a rare event for six planets to align in the sky. According to the report on NTV, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus will meet on June 3 and 4, 2024, to create a rarely seen spectacle in the sky.

Although the planets will not form a perfectly straight line, they will be close enough to create a striking visual feast.

WILL BE VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE AND EVERY MORNING FOR A WEEK

At the beginning of June, this alignment, which will occur about an hour before sunrise, will be visible to the naked eye and every morning for a week. While it is possible to observe Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn with the naked eye, Uranus and Neptune are much dimmer than the other planets, and binoculars or a telescope may be required to see them clearly.

Similar alignments will occur in the coming months. On August 28, 2024, and January 18, 2025, large, six-planet alignments will be observable in the pre-dawn hours. Additionally, a full planetary alignment will take place on the evening of February 28, 2025, and all seven other planets will appear in the sky at the same time.

HOW TO WATCH?

The meeting will be visible from many parts of the world on June 3. The rise and set times of the planets will vary depending on your location. You can use various mobile applications to obtain this information.
