August 10 Six planets – wounds, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune – in a row in a bow in the night sky. Four of these planets – wounds, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn – can be evident to the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune will be evident by a very forceful pair of liquery skwatching or a backyard telescope.
While August 10 sets the beginning of this planetary parade, these six planets will be evident until the last days of August, when the mercury is drowning lower on the horizon and meanders too close to the sun, so that they can be safely observed. The next time all these planets are evident together, only in February 2026, so you won’t want to miss this equalization.
While this planetary parade begins 10, the best date of watching these planets is nights preceding on August 23, when there is little or no moonlight, and mercury will be at the farthest point from the sun.
Moonlight and artificial featherlight can wash objects in the night sky, so you will want to make your sky under a tidy, moonless sky and away from artificial featherlight. If you need to apply a flashlight, choose one with red featherlight to keep your vision at night.
What to expect
First, Neptune and Saturn rose, then Uranus, then Venus and Jupiter, and finally mercury.
When these planets are above the horizon on August 10, if you are in the northern hemisphere, you will see Neptune and Saturn in the southwest (about 40 degrees above the horizon), and then Uranus to the southeast (about 55 degrees above the horizon). Completing the arch in the east are Venus and Jupiter (both just over 20 degrees above the horizon), and finally a mercury, which will barely be on the eastern horizon.
If you are in the southern hemisphere, instead of looking south, you will look north to see these objects: Neptune and Saturn would be in the northwest, then Uranus in the north and a bit in the east. Venus, Jupiter and Mercury would be a bit more in the northeast in the southern hemisphere and would be a few degrees lower in the horizon than in the Northern Hemisphere.
Here’s what you need to know about each of these planets and how to find them.
Neptune and Saturn
First of all, Neptune and Saturn grow together between around 20:30 and 22:00 local time in many locations in both hemispheres. The exact times when the planets grow and set will vary depending on the exact location; You can apply websites such as Time and date To find exact times.
Neptune and Saturn will remain together until they stand inside. They will appear slightly west of the moon, under constellation fish.
Saturn is very dazzling and easily evident to the naked eye. You may notice the wonderful Rings of Saturn with a pair of binoculars SKWatching or a telescope in the yard. For the first time, seeing Saturn’s rings is one of the most inspiring moments you can have when getting to know the stars.
