INFO ONLY -Planetary Parade June 4 early am
June 4 @ 4:30 am - 5:30 am
Your news feeds might speak of a ‘planetary parade’ tonight. It is accurate that the planets will be in a relatively tight line from the sun itself at the eastern horizon just before sunrise Tuesday, spreading out up and to the right. Of them, Saturn will be the brightest and easiest to spot, followed by Mars, and a thin crescent moon. Next in line are Jupiter with Mercury nearby, but they will be extremely hard to see owing to the Sun’s encroaching light and their closeness to the horizon itself. Neptune and Uranus will be out there, too, but will need a telescope to spot.
This post is FYI only. No event is scheduled.
