Skygazers eagerly await the ‘parade of planets’ on June 3. However, due to the rising Sun and the moon's presence, it would be difficult to see the complete planetary alignment. NASA has shared some tips for spotting the celestial event so that people can enjoy it to the fullest.
In a recent post on X, NASA suggested that skygazers look for reddish Mars between Saturn and the slim crescent Moon before Sun rise on June 3. With the help of a telescope, people can also spot several other planets in the sky on June 3rd Morning.
"You may have heard about a "parade of planets" on June 3. Be aware that most of them will be either too close to the rising Sun or too faint to see. But look for reddish Mars between Saturn and the slim crescent Moon."
Enhance the experience with telescope
The US space agency mentioned that only the Moon, Mars, and Saturn would be visible on June 3 with the naked eye. To spot other stars and planets, skygazers would require a telescope as most of them would be lost in the glare of the rising Sun.
“Yes, the Moon, Mars, and Saturn will all be easily visible. There will be several other planets in the sky that morning, which is why it's gotten some attention. Still, the other planets are only visible with a telescope or will be mostly lost in the glare of the rising Sun,” replied NASA to a user's query.
