Tomorrow it will be possible to observe a rare parade of five planets
On the morning of June 17, residents of Earth will be able to observe the parade of five planets in the sky, a phenomenon that occurs no more than once every 18-20 years.

As reported by Ukrinform, reported by this portal Starwalk.space.

The essence of this phenomenon is that in their orbits Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus are aligned in a single line with respect to the Sun.

One hour before dawn on June 17, the five planets will line up to form a single line at an angle of 93° to the Sun. Most likely, only residents of the Eastern Hemisphere will observe this phenomenon.

Scientists note that the two planets – Neptune and Uranus – will be the most difficult to see. Scientists also claim that Jupiter would be the easiest to see.

Above and to the right of Jupiter will be Saturn above the southeast horizon. Compared to Jupiter, it will appear smaller and dimmer, but still visible to the naked eye. Mercury will be the fifth planet to participate in the parade.
