"Planet parade is when, if you look in the same old part of the sky at the same time, there’s a bunch of planets. And that’s what we call a planet parade. So in this case, our parade happens in the morning. We’re talking about an hour before sunrise. Don’t get up any earlier, but you can’t get much later because the sun’s gonna blow this away."

"So a planetary parade people might often think of as planets lining up in the sky, or more so in space. So when we see pictures from NASA or in textbooks, they’re often drawn side by side. When we talk about a planetary parade as something you can see in the sky it’s that the planets appear in a roughly line-like position across the sky."

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Carolyn Sumners, Houston Museum of Natural Science:
"Mercury just kind of crawls away from the sun for a few nights and we can see it right after sunset or right before sunrise then it goes and hides behind the sun again as it goes around the sun. That’s why it’s a tricky planet to observe, but it’s there."
