Tonight (June 24) sky-gazers looking up into the early morning sky could be lucky enough to see a rare planetary alignment that last occurred in 2004. But you’ll have to wake up before dawn to catch it!
On a clear morning, the incredible sight of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all shining brightly in a diagonal line near the horizon should be visible to the naked eye.
The astronomical spectacle will remain visible in the morning sky until Monday, June 27 across most of the world. However, the planets will fade in brightness over the next few days, so get out there as soon as you can.
