Planet parade June 2026: How and when to see the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury dance across the night sky

Prepare for a celestial spectacle as the Moon aligns with three planets this week, offering a rare evening viewing opportunity. On June 17th, Indians can witness the slender crescent Moon near the bright planet Venus, with a chance for a lunar occultation of Venus. This is the prime time to observe these planets before Jupiter fades from view.
