  1. Hey y’all! The universe is about to put on a hella show for everyone…especially parts of Europe. Tomorrow, August 12, 2026 will be a triple hitter in the skies!

    There will be a rare six-planet alignment called a "planet parade," with Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune visible in the pre-dawn sky. The best viewing time is approximately 30–60 minutes before sunrise. You’ll need binoculars or a telescope for the last two.

    But that’s not all! Come for the parade, but stay for the eclipse and settle in for the fireworks of the #Perseid meteor shower peak. It’s an all day celestial party!

    Oh, and don’t forget, gravity is going to be turned off at 14:33 UTC for seven seconds, so hold on to something. (Gravity is not being turned off, it’s a very silly internet conspiracy. That’s not how physics works. That’s not how any of this works.)

  5. A very pretty conjunction between the Moon & Venus in clear cold skies this evening 🙂

    There was some excellent earthshine to be seen, sunlight reflected off the Atlantic lighting up the otherwise dark part of the Moon 🌒

    And it was easy to see that Venus was a crescent, with sunlight striking it in pretty much the same as it was hitting the Moon 🌙

  6. Light pollution and stormy skies.

    Still seems dreamy with two bright spots in the #planetParade

  7. Look up! A stunning parade of planets—Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars—is visible in the early evening sky all month, according to NASA. Whether you’re a stargazer or not, don’t miss this rare opportunity to connect with the cosmos.

    “These multi-planet viewing opportunities aren’t rare, but they don’t happen every year, so check out,” NASA says.

  8. I didn't have my very wide lens with me last night, so the planetary line-up is a set of three separate photos at different focal lengths.

    Saturn and Venus, Jupiter with the Pleiades and Hyades, and Mars with Castor and Pollux in Gemini.
