This unusual alignment of planets has been taking form over the past few days, with the arched line-up enjoying its best visibility between 5am and sunrise in the eastern sky tomorrow morning. They can be seen without a telescope, but will ‘disappear’ as soon as the Sun edges over the horizon, obscuring the view.
The Moon today joins the line-up to lead the parade of planets across the pre-dawn sky, becoming most prominent on Monday and Tuesday about one hour before sunrise. And later in June, Mercury will appear as a fifth planet in the parade.
The key moment to watch out for will be the Black Moon Eclipse next weekend. Like a ‘Blue Moon’ denoting a second Full Moon in one month, the equally unusual ‘Black Moon’ is the same phenomenon, but it occurs with New Moons. As the Moon disappears from the night sky, it allows the rest of the heavens to shine brighter.
