On August 23, 2025, skywatchers will witness a rare planetary alignment featuring six planets—Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune—visible in the pre-dawn sky, with Venus and Jupiter being the most prominent. This event coincides with a 'black moon' phase, marking the third of four new moons in a season, providing an excellent opportunity for stargazing before sunrise.
