Skygazers in Hyderabad anticipate ‘parade of planets’ on June 3

Skygazers in the city are eagerly anticipating the much-hyped ‘parade of planets’ on June 3.

The celestial event involves six planets – Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn, appearing to align in the sky near dawn.

However, city planetary experts point out that viewing the complete alignment may



be challenging due to the rising Sun and the moon’s presence.

Only three of these—Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter—will be visible to the naked eye, says N Raghunandan Kumar, Director of the Planetary Society, India, “You’ll be able to see Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. If you have binoculars and know where to look, you might spot Uranus.”
