The next one slated to occur on June 3, during predawn hours, in the eastern sky across the Northern Hemisphere. If you're in New York, you will get a much clearer view of it in between 5 AM to 5:26 AM PT. What makes this particular planetary parade special is that you get to see a whopping six planets line up - Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn.
