The waning crescent moon will also be in alignment between Venus and Mars on June 24.
Don't forget to look up this month to see the start of a rare, five-planet alignment grace the night sky.
This rare phenomenon has not occurred since December 2004, and this year, the distance between Mercury and Saturn will be smaller,Stargazers will need to have their binoculars handy along with a clear view of the eastern horizon to spot Mercury near the start of the month, the space magazine said. As June progresses, Mercury will become brighter and easier to see, according to Diana Hannikainen, observing editor of Sky & Telescope.
"I'll be out there with my binoculars, looking towards the east and southeast and crossing all my fingers and toes that it is going to be clear," Hannikainen said. Stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere can see the planets from the eastern to southeastern horizon while those in the Southern Hemisphere should look along the eastern to northeastern horizon. The only requirement is a clear sky in the direction of the alignment."Just keep looking throughout the month of June and as soon as you have a clear morning, go out and enjoy that view," she said.
