Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will line up thru the end of June.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - It may seem odd considering they are so far from Earth, but multiple planets will be visible in the predawn sky for the rest of June. Not only that, but they will all appear to line up.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will align in an arc and be visible to the naked eye in the process. It’s a spectacle that hasn’t happened since 2004 and won’t happen again until 2040. They key will be making sure your view of the eastern horizon is completely unobstructed. In other words, try to make sure your eastern view is flat and free of trees, hills and buildings. That’s because Mercury will be very low in the sky, so a building or hill could prevent you from seeing it.Binoculars or a telescope will make for an even more memorable experience, but they aren’t required. The planets will all shine brighter than nearby stars to be seen easily.
