Five planets will line up in the sky in June. Here's how to see it.

In June, five planets will move into a rare alignment, which will be visible from Earth.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are lining up — in that order — for the first time since December 2004.

The five so-called"naked-eye" planets were visible beginning on June 3 and 4, but on June 24, they will be even easier to see. Sky & Telescope says the best time to see the line up on June24 is 45 minutes before sunrise. It should be visible on the eastern horizon. But on June 24, viewing will be optimal. Even if the distance between Mercury and Saturn increases, it's getting easier to spot Mercury, so it is getting progressively easier to see all five planets, Diana Hannikainen, observing editor of Sky & Telescope, told CBS News via email.

Even if is cloudy, the planets should be visible on the days leading up to this. Sky & Telescope says the best time to see the line up on June24 is 45 minutes before sunrise. It should be visible on the eastern horizon. according to NASA.
