Friday before Sunrise is the Best Time to See the Planets Align

Look up in the sky Friday morning before sunrise for a rare sight!

Five planets will move into an alignment that is optimal for viewing from our Earth.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will line up in a very rare and visible arc across the night sky. NBC 5 Chicago says the best time to view this is about 45 minutes before sunrise Friday (June 24) morning.
