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.
According to Lyudmila Koshman, an astronomer and head of the methodological support department at the Moscow Planetarium, as reported by IA "TASS," it will not be possible 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, being located near Mars on this day. 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."
