Five planets will align in a row this month for the first time in 18 years and will be visible to the naked eye around the world, including in the UAE.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be lined up in their natural order from the Sun. The rare celestial event was clearly visible on June 3 and 4, but will be even more compelling on June 24, when the planets will appear closer together.
The Al Sadeem Observatory in Abu Dhabi confirmed to The National that the planetary line-up will be visible in the UAE’s night skies.
