Rare Planetary Alignment Showcases Five Planets in the Sky

Five planets, including Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, and Mercury, will align in the night sky on June 17, forming a line due to their elliptical orbits. The alignment will be visible for a few days before and after June 16, with different planets visible at various times throughout the night. While Neptune and Uranus require binoculars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn will be visible without them. Another alignment is predicted for July 22, featuring Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
