(WWJ) – Make sure you look up at the sky this month – there’s a very rare event taking place.
It’s what they call a “planetary parade” – when all five planets that are visible to the naked eye are visible at the same time.
Mike Murray of the Delta College Planetarium in Bay City joined WWJ’s Erin Vee for a new episode of “All Over the Space” to talk about the rare event, as well as another treat in the sky we just experienced – the Strawberry Supermoon.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be lined up in their planetary order throughout the month. Experts say the parade will be most visible on June 24.
Murray says the best time to see it will be early that morning and you won’t even need a telescope, though binoculars might help to see Mercury, as it’s far away on the horizon.
In this week's episode, Murray talks about where to look for the parade, why it's happening and just how rare it is.
