The Jordanian sky is on a date with a rare astronomical event... seen once in a lifetime

Weather of Arabia - Astronomical expert Imad Mujahid, Fellow of the British Royal Astronomical Society, said that the skies of Jordan and all Arab countries will witness a rare astronomical event at the beginning of next June, as six planets followed by the moon will line up on the third of the month, which is a rare astronomical event that occurs only once. In age.

What is the planetary procession that will visit Earth on June 1?

He explained that the planets that will align are Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and then the moon will join them on June 3, forming a very rare astronomical phenomenon.

Mujahid added that the best time to observe the phenomenon, whether with the naked eye or using a telescope, will be in the early morning, a few hours before sunrise, when all the planets mentioned will be visible in the sky.

Does the alignment of the planets have anything to do with earthquakes?

Mujahid pointed out that the alignment of the planets with the moon and sun in a straight line is a natural and rare astronomical phenomenon, and it does not have any impact on people’s lives or cause earthquakes, volcanoes and disasters as some astrologers claim. He explained that the planets are very far from Earth and the effect of their gravity is almost non-existent, so he called for not believing astrologers and not following up on their predictions that they publish on social media sites and some irresponsible media outlets.
