Did you miss the chance to see six planets in a row on June 3? Don't worry, you have another opportunity this August. On August 24, you can witness a rare celestial event where six planets will be visible in the night sky at the same time.
Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars will be visible to the naked eye, while Neptune and Uranus will require binoculars for a clearer view. The planetary parade will begin with Saturn, followed by Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars appearing on the horizon as the night progresses. The spectacle will culminate with Mercury, which will be visible about 30 minutes before sunrise.
This alignment of planets, known as a "planet parade," will be visible across the globe. It marks the third such occurrence this year. Earlier, a few planets were visible during the solar eclipse in April, and the second planet parade took place on June 3. In August, this remarkable alignment will be visible for a week in different parts of the world.
So, mark your calendars and don't miss this extraordinary astronomical event. Whether you're a seasoned stargazer or just looking for a unique experience, this planetary alignment offers a perfect opportunity to marvel at the wonders of our solar system.
