A series of planets will align in the early morning skies before sunrise through July 4, including Jupiter, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, Saturn, the dwarf planet Pluto and the moon.
The rare parade of planets will occur only before sunrise, according to the Farmers’ Almanac, and will not be visible in the evening.
“The closest thing to a planet parade will be June 29, when Saturn, the moon, Mars, and Jupiter will line up across the morning sky,” NASA said.
While the planets Uranus and Neptune cannot be seen with the naked eye, Jupiter will also be faint but might be visible low in the east, Mars up and to the right of Jupiter, and Saturn far off to the right of Mars, the Farmers’ Almanac reported.
The rare celestial lineup will occur only before sunrise, so early birds will catch this swarm. Up next is a once-in-a-lifetime nova later this summer skygazers won’t want to miss.
Similarly, NASA reported that Jupiter is now visible low in the east before sunrise, and the planet will be visible around 10 degrees above the horizon, forming a line between Mars and Saturn that stretches toward the south.
