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 with the waning Moon will line up close to each other near the Sun.
According to Lyudmila Koshman, an astronomer and head of the methodological support department of the Moscow Planetarium, in her interview with IA "TASS", it will be impossible to see the eclipse from Earth in the daytime sky on Monday, June 3.
According to her, in the morning, on Monday, 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 will also join them, which on this day will be located near Mars. Of all these planets, only Saturn will be visible: at dawn low above the horizon before sunrise.
Therefore, this "parade of planets" is called "invisible."
