To see the alignment
, observers will need to head outside roughly 30 minutes before sunrise
on 24 June, it will be more compelling
as the five planets will be visible for a longer duration
They will be
joined by a guest, a crescent Moon placed between Venus and Mars.
According to Dr Greg Brown
Venus and Jupiter would be the easiest to see as Mars will become difficult to see at twilight.
Only chance to see all
five planets at the same time is during a very narrow window after Mercury has risen but before the sun
A pair of binoculars or a
telescope may well be enough to overcome the twilight in the case of the fainter planets
