The seven planets will line up – Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Neptune and Uranus. However, due to the distance of some planets, people will not be able to see all celestial bodies (they cannot even be seen through a telescope).

There will be a crescent moon above Mars and Venus. It will be best seen in Moscow, as well as in Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk from 02:30.

From 3:30 to 4:00 in the morning, the best conditions for watching the parade of planets will be in the regions of southern Russia. The next time an astronomical event is predicted in 18 years – September 8, 2040. Then Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Saturn will line up, with a crescent between the latter.

Recall that on June 21 last year, the inhabitants of Russia saw a rare solar eclipse.
