Rare Opportunity, 5 Planets Will Align with Moon for This June

VIVA – Space enthusiasts will have the rare opportunity to see the five planets in the Solar System and the Moon in alignment this June, 2022. This phenomenon is called quintet conjunction. Where Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will be seen in the pre-dawn parade, forming a curved line.

The parallel formation of the five planets and the Moon will be most perfect on June 23-24, 2022. The parallel position of the five planets is called celestial conjunction and can be seen with the naked eye. This phenomenon last occurred in 2004.

From the southern hemisphere, Mercury and Venus are visible in the morning, with the star Aldebaran visible between the two planets. Aldebaran, which in Arabic means "follower", is one of the 15 brightest stars we can see from Earth.

The Aldebaran star has a diameter of 44 times the diameter of the Sun and emits a reddish hue. As quoted from the BBC website on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, Saturn will appear at midnight. Then, for a few hours before morning, Jupiter and then Mars will be visible. After that, Venus will appear, followed by Mercury at sunrise.

Astrologers believe that the position of these five parallel planets is important. Some of them believe that the parallel position of the planets will cause enormous energy changes, changing human life from a state of war to a point of calmer peace and harmony.

Here's how these 5 planets will appear:

Saturn

Saturn will be seen mainly at night in the fall of this year. But now, Saturn will appear before midnight.

To the naked eye, Saturn will appear as a bright yellow and white star. But using a telescope, you will be able to see the planet's famous rings, which now appear to be narrowing.

The ring stretches from north to south of the planet. When the morning fades, Saturn is easily visible in the sky in the southeastern hemisphere, or south to southeast.
