Starting today, all sky enthusiasts will be able to observe a rare event for a full month. As of the first hours of Friday, 5 of our Solar System’s 7 planets other than Earth will be visible to the naked eye in the sky. This rare event, which last occurred in 2004, will last until the end of June.
According to the shared details, these five planets will be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Those who want to observe Mercury with the naked eye will need to use regular binoculars in early June. However, the planet will begin to appear brighter in the following days of June, and 5 planets will be visible to the naked eye without the need for binoculars.
The time range where they can be seen most clearly:
According to the information shared by Sky & Telescope, the ideal time to see all five planets most clearly is the Sun. It will be the time period 30 minutes before his birth. You can use this tool to find out minute by minute when the Sun will rise and set in your area.
Along with these five planets, June 24 will be a special day. Our moon, the Moon, will appear between Venus and Mars on this date and appear aligned with the two planets. To see these five planets together again, we will have to wait until 2040. Therefore, it is a good idea not to miss this opportunity.
