In early June, Russians, like other inhabitants of the globe, will witness a "parade of planets" that occurs once every twenty years. Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn, along with the waning Moon, will align closely with each other near the Sun.
As astronomer Lyudmila Koshman, head of the methodological support department of the Moscow Planetarium, told IA "TASS", it will be impossible to see the eclipse from Earth in the daytime sky on Monday, June 3.
According to her, on Monday morning, all seven planets will be located on one side of the Sun in a sector of about 90 degrees (from the northeast to the southeast horizon) in the following order: Sun, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, then Mars, Neptune, and Saturn.
The waning Moon, which will be near Mars on this day, will also join them. Of all these planets, only Saturn will be visible: low on the horizon at dawn before sunrise.
Therefore, this "parade of planets" is called "invisible."
