A "parade of the planets" is a beautiful observational phenomenon that occurs when several planets line up on one side of the Sun at the same time.

In the early morning of August 28, 2024, the "parade" of six planets - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn - will be visible to the inhabitants of the planet Earth.

According to the Byurakan observatory, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be visible to the naked eye, but Mercury will be very close to the horizon and difficult to spot. Observing devices will be required to see Neptune and Uranus.

"Parade of planets" is not an official astrological term, it is also called "planetary alignment".

According to astronomers, the alignment of six planets is a very rare phenomenon, and such large alignments occur once every 20 years.

It should also be noted that the "parade of planets" will be visible almost everywhere in the morning hours, but August 28, 2024 is a general date when this phenomenon will be well visible in many places around the world. The "parade" will be visible in the days leading up to and following August 28.
