~ Parade of Seven (7) Planets

🪐 Don’t miss the large planet parade on June 24, 2022! 🪐
The most spectacular planet parade of the year
will take place on the morning of June 24, 2022.
Observers will see five planets of the Solar System aligned in the sky:
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
In fact, this will be a seven-planet alignment as Neptune and Uranus
will also join the celestial show.
However, these two giant planets are too dim to be spotted with the naked eye.
You should start your observations about an hour before dawn.
The planets will extend from east to south
(from north to east in the southern latitudes) across the sky.
Observers from the Southern Hemisphere will have a better view
— the planets there will rise earlier and climb much higher.
An additional bonus is the waning crescent Moon,
shining between Venus and Mars.
It will be slightly out of the “planetary line,” traveling
from planet to planet during the latter half of June, 2022.
To easily locate and identify planets on the sky's dome,
you can use mobile apps like Star Walk 2 or Sky Tonight.
Simply point your device at the sky,
and the apps will show you what object you’re looking at.
