On June 24, about an hour before sunrise, you will be able to see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn lined up with the naked eye. They will also take their place as they move further away from the Sun.
It is stated that such a planetary parade was last observed 18 years ago, and the next one is expected in 2040.
In general, the connection of two or three planets in the night sky is nothing extraordinary, but the phenomenon of multiple planets lining up in a line is extremely rare.
Because of the orientation and tilt of their orbits, all eight major planets in the solar system can never be lined up perfectly. The last time they appeared in a part of the sky was over a thousand years ago (in 949) and was supposed to occur in the future on May 6, 2492.
