Astronomy Picture of the Day

   [1]Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our
      fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation
                    written by a professional astronomer.

                                2022 June 29
     [2]The featured image is a circular, fisheye, all-sky image showing
   every planet in the Solar System lined up horizontally along the image
      center, along with Earth's Moon. Trees and hills from the Atacama
   Desert link populate the outer circle edge. Please see the explanation
                       for more detailed information.

   Explanation: Yes, but have you ever seen all of the planets at once? A
   [4]rare roll-call of planets has [5]been occurring in the morning sky
   for [6]much of June. The [7]featured fisheye all-sky image, taken a few
   mornings ago near the town of [8]San Pedro de Atacama in [9]Chile,
   caught not only the entire planet parade, but the Moon between Mars and
   Venus. In order, left to right along the [10]ecliptic plane, members of
   this [11]Solar System family portrait are [12]Earth, [13]Saturn,
   [14]Neptune, [15]Jupiter, [16]Mars, [17]Uranus, [18]Venus, [19]Mercury,
   and [20]Earth. To emphasize their locations, Neptune and Uranus have
   been artificially enhanced. The volcano just below Mercury is
   [21]Licancabur. In July, [22]Mercury will move into the Sun's glare but
   reappear a few days later on the evening side. Then, in August,
   [23]Saturn will drift past the direction [24]opposite the Sun and so
   become visible at dusk instead of dawn. The next time that all eight
   planets will be [25]simultaneously visible in a morning sky will be
   [26]in 2122.
