The “planet parade” — mistakenly being called an alignment by many — continues on Monday, Aug. 18, with four planets visible to the naked eye an hour before sunrise. Uranus and Neptune will also be in the sky, making six planets in total, but neither of the gas giants will be visible to the naked eye. It’s the rise of Mercury this week that effectively creates the “planet parade,” although arguably, it’s the presence of a beautiful waning crescent moon that makes the sight worth getting up early for.
