Skywatchers around the world were amazed by the sight of five bright planets lining up with the moon.
During the month of June, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn have lined up from left to right in the southeastern sky. The moon joined the planet parade in the early morning hours of June 24.
"Seeing the night sky is amazing and, knowing the rarity of these alignments, you have to take every opportunity to view and capture it," Dobbs told Space.com in an email.
Friday is the rare alignment of five planets.
The image was shot with a Sony a7ii and was composed of three images. The images were taken at ISO 1600, f/ 6.3, 15 seconds.
The twilight glow added to the display of the planets in the morning sky.
There were other amazing views from social media.
