Rare Planetary Alignment to Happen on June 17
A rare five-planet alignment will occur in our night sky
This week, a rare five-planet alignment will occur in our night sky, according to Sciencealert. The five planets of the solar system, namely Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, and Mercury, will line up on June 17.
How to see this week's rare 5-planet alignment
On the morning of June 17, about an hour before sunrise, look to the east. There, will be a bright object near the horizon, Jupiter. It will be the brightest of the five planets and the easiest one to spot.
Slightly up and to the right. There, will be a Saturn over the southeastern horizon. It will appear dimmer and smaller than Jupiter, but should still be visible.
The next best bet is to spot Mercury. It will be down and to the left of Jupiter, just barely above the horizon, between the eastern and northeastern horizons.
The last two planets, Neptune and Uranus, are not only the farthest from Earth but also the faintest in the sky. To see them, using binoculars or a telescope is highly recommended.
