🪐 The 2026 Planet Parade has officially begun! 4 Worlds in a Sunrise Huddle! 🔭🚩
Early risers, this is your wake-up call to witness a rare planetary alignment. Starting this week (visible right now, Saturday, April 18), four of our planetary neighbors are gathering in the same tiny, 10-degree patch of sky!
Where to Look:
Look towards the East, 30–60 minutes before the sun comes up. You should be able to spot:
🟠 Mars (Look for the distinct reddish tint)
🪐 Saturn (Glows steadily; you’ll need a telescope for the rings!)
⚪ Mercury (The closest planet, appearing low and swift)
🔵 Neptune (An ice giant; this one requires a powerful telescope or binoculars!)
They are performing a beautiful celestial dance, seemingly lined up in the pre-dawn glow. While they are actually millions of miles apart in 3D space, from our view on Earth, they are sharing the stage in a breathtaking performance. 🕺✨
Are you setting an alarm to see this alignment? Let us know!
