Such a planetary alignment will not happen again until 2040 | planet | Jupiter | Venus | Mars | Mercury | Saturn he early bird catches the spectacular skywatching this week, as five planets march across the predawn sky. This rare planetary alignment has been visible since early June. But the view should be particularly impressive this week, as Mercury is at its brightest and the waning moon joins the parade of planets. The alignment is visible just before dawn in the Northern Hemisphere. The best time to look is about 45 minutes before sunrise. The planets will be spread from the east-northeast horizon, arcing toward the south. Coincidentally, they'll be lined up in their order from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This particular planetary configuration hasn’t occurred since 1864. Saturn is the earliest to rise and will be visible in the southeast sky just before dawn, in the constellation Capricornus. Jupiter, in the constellation Pisces, will be visible as a very bright body next door; it will appear more than twice as bright as Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Mars is one of the easier planets to pick out because of its reddish coloring; it will be above the eastern horizon. Venus, appearing even brighter than Jupiter, will rise over the horizon, to the left of Mars. Mercury will be the last to make an appearance in the 40 minutes or so before sunrise, peeking over the horizon to the left of Venus. On June 27, the crescent moon will provide a useful signpost for Mercury, which will be just below and to the right of the crescent. A helpful tip for picking out planets is to look for steady light. Stars twinkle, but planets don't. From June 23 to 25, Moon will perch between Mars and Venus, becoming a skinnier crescent each night. Break out the binoculars before dawn on June 27, and you might catch the last 3% sliver of the moon sitting to the left of a relatively bright Mercury. The visible planets are not actually lined up in space, but they do all happen to be on one side of the sun. From Earth, a lack of depth perception makes the planets look like they are next to one another. Mercury circles the sun every 88 Earth days, Venus every 225 days, Mars every 687 days, Jupiter every 12 years and Saturn every 29 years, so these alignments occur on an irregular schedule. The last time the five visible planets were aligned was in 2020, preceded by 2016 and 2005. |
