The Rare Planetary Alignment 24-06-2022

This morning sky watchers all around the globe were graced with one of the rare planetary alignment including 5 planets and the waning crescent. Saturn being the farthest towards South, followed by planets Jupiter and Mars with Waning Crescent in between and then planets Venus and Mercury just over the Eastern horizon. It was a spell binding sight and magical to witness all these planets line up in the sky.

And yes planets Uranus and Neptune were also part of this alignment which were not visible to the naked eye.

This is my humble attempt to capture the visible and capturable planets in my cameras field of view, from the skies of Lahore. (Saturn not included)
