The event, known as a planetary conjunction, occurs when planets appear near each other from Earth's perspective.

The show continues from June 11 through June 15, when Mercury joins Venus and Jupiter to create a "planet parade" low on the western horizon after sunset.

Venus will be the easiest planet to spot, while Mercury may require a clear view of the horizon.

Finally, the Moon will appear close to Venus on June 17. NASA said some locations will even see the Moon pass directly in front of the planet.

NASA recommends looking west shortly after sunset for the best chance to see the planetary lineup. Parts of the United States, Canada, Brazil and Venezuela.
