A “planet parade” has been gracing the sky for much of August this year, but after Friday, Aug. 29, it’s set to be diminished. Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will be the easiest to spot, with Mercury hugging the horizon just before sunrise and likely impossible to see. More distant Uranus and Neptune are also in place, though they require binoculars or a telescope. However, this six-planet parade is short-lived. By next week, Mercury will have sunk back into the sun’s glare, leaving a five-planet show through October.
