PLANETARY CONJUNCTION AND SUMMER SOLSTICE WEEK 2022

This morning before sunrise Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn lined up with the moon and sun for a rare alignment. A thunderstorm rolled in last night but the clouds cleared to allow us to see the planets appear through the clouds one by one. As we were hiking to the top of the top of the Peak it not only rained on us but snow also fell. It was amazing that it cleared up in time for us to see this Heavenly sign (actually a continuous scene of a drama being played out in the sky).

Below are a few photos that I took. It was difficult to get all the planets to show so I had to piece together a couple of photos.

We got up at 4:30 to see it out East. I got a good picture but only Venus, Mars and Jupiter were visible to my naked eye. They were all beautifully lined up with the moon. It was awesome!! Thanks for your pictures. Jill
