See 6 Planets Align in Stunning Pre-Dawn Show Tuesday

A “planet parade” is building in the eastern sky before sunrise this week — and the highlight comes on Tuesday, Aug. 12. Best seen about an hour before sunrise, as the peak of the Perseid meteor shower draws to a close, bright planets Jupiter and Venus will appear less than one degree from each other in the eastern sky. Best seen about an hour before sunrise, the close conjunction will occur while Saturn is visible in the south and Mercury begins to become visible below the two bright planets. Although neither are visible to the naked eye, Uranus and Neptune will also be in the sky, creating a six-planet parade.
