Astronomy: The last chance before the year 2124 … An extraordinary alignment of seven planets is still visible from Sunday night to Monday 27 June

The window is short, but from June 24 through June 27, Earthlings can observe, largely with the naked eye, an extraordinary alignment of seven planets in the solar system.

It usually happens at night and only looks to the east. If the cloud layer dissipates, around 1 am, you will be able to see an extraordinary sight. Saturn will reveal itself next, followed by Neptune, Jupiter and Mars, where it can be seen with the naked eye because it is very bright.

At this time, the moon should be inserted between Jupiter and Mars. Then, before dawn, Venus and Mercury will appear. It is then necessary to be equipped with a specific device (periscope or telescope) to observe them, since these two planets are more distant. Finally, at about five in the morning, the Sun, the seventh planet, will call itself almost and align itself almost perfectly with the other six (and the Moon, let’s remember, is nothing but a satellite of Earth).

In any case, you will have to enjoy the show for the last time during the night from Sunday to Monday because this phenomenon will not happen again until 2124. Suffice it to say that no living creature on the planet today will be able to again enjoy such an alignment. So now is the time.
