SIX PLANETS SHOW IN THE SKY
The Heavens are Happy. They are giving us, amateur astronomers, a treat to behold!
On 03 June and 04 June 2024 hang out on your terrace, your balcony, in the garden or
open grounds two hours before Sunrise because major parts of the
world will get a feast for their eyes.
Spread cross the celestial tableau we will witness a rare event- The Planetary alignment of six planets- Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus will appear in the skies in the early morning hours of June 3 and 4, 2024. It is rare event because it is more common to see- 3 or 4 or 5 planets in alignment - this time we have six planets in their orbits on the same side of the sun. Planetary alignment does not mean planets are in one line, they may be slightly above or below the line, but they orbit the Sun more or less on a flat plane - called the ecliptic. The planets while moving through their orbits will happen to be on the same side of the Sun and appear to us at the same time.
This phenomenon is what we will get to see from couple of hours before Sun rise- a good reason to rise early- what say?!
In India, On 03 June 2024 Sun Rise will be at 05.22 AM, plus or minus 1 or 2 minutes in different locations.
The conjunction of the Crescent Moon and Mars will be visible after 2.30 AM around, 2.47 AM actually. They will be just 2°9´ apart from each other and visible in the pre-dawn sky till about 4.45 AM.
The other planets- Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus will be visible from around 4.30 to 5.30 AM, as the darkness fades and the skies lighten, their visibility will diminish. The visibility is given for each planet in the brackets- Mercury (magnitude -1.4), Mars (mag 1.1), Jupiter (mag -2.0), Saturn (mag 1.1), Neptune (mag 7.9) and Uranus (mag 5.8). Sadly, beautiful Venus will give us a miss, but the fair moon might compensate occasionally appearing in its waning state. Even
during the period before Sunrise, Venus will not be visible at all, Mercury and Jupiter will be slightly difficult to see,
Mars and Saturn will have average visibility while Neptune and Uranus will be
very difficult to see So you are advised to keep a pair of binoculars handy.
