This alignment appears in the sky in the form of a straight line due to the presence of the planets in the ecliptic circle.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%AF%... also:</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%AF%... | Jordanian Astronomical Society: Planetary conjunctions at the end of May</a> </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p lang="en" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> On June 3rd 2024, a very rare event known as the “Parade of Planets” will occur, where six planets will align in a straight line, and it will be visible just before sunrise <a href="https://t.co/OAwbkhtQFt">pic.twitter.com/OAwbkhtQFt</a></p> — TheTinderBlog (@TheTinderBlog) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTinderBlog/status/1792221201319801127?ref_src=tws... 19, 2024</a> </blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Where can a planetary procession be seen?</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The alignment can be seen from most parts of the world on <strong>June 3rd</strong> .
