Three bright planets are gathering in the evening sky for a five-night display visible from June 11 to June 15, 2026. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will appear along the same sloping section of sky, creating what astronomers commonly call a mini planetary parade.

The display reaches its strongest point on June 12, but observers have several opportunities to see it if clouds interfere. Timing and location will matter because the planets sit low above the horizon and disappear relatively soon after sunset.
