Gazing across this gorgeous skyscape, the Southern Cross and stars of the constellation Centaurus are seen above the outline of Mauna Loa (Long Mountain), planet Earth's largest volcano.
Attention stargazers! A celestial phenomenon will take place in June, so mark your calendars. For the first time since 2004, five planets will appear in a line in the night sky in their correct order of increasing distance from the sun, according to Dr.
Rick Fienberg, former press officer of the American Astronomical Society and senior contributing editor for "Sky & Telescope." Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be easily visible.
Uranus and Neptune will also be there, but Uranus will be in between Venus and Mars as opposed to its correct order behind Saturn.
