In an upcoming celestial spectacle, skywatchers will be delighted by the rare alignment of six planets in our solar system. This event, often termed a "planet parade," is expected to occur in the first week of June this year, presenting a breathtaking view of the planets in near-linear formation. The rare cosmic event is set to take place on June 3, 2024. According to the reports, the spectacle will be visible just before sunrise, around 6 am in the US.

Those equipped with high-powered binoculars or telescopes may also catch a glimpse of Uranus, near Mercury, Neptune and close to Saturn.
