Explanation: Yes, but have you ever seen all of the planets at once? A rare roll-call of planets has been occurring in the morning sky for much of June. The featured fisheye all-sky image, taken a few mornings ago near the town of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile, caught not only the entire planet parade, but the Moon between Mars and Venus. In order, left to right along the ecliptic plane, members of this Solar System family portrait are Earth, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Venus, Mercury, and Earth. To emphasize their locations, Neptune and Uranus have been artificially enhanced. The volcano just below Mercury is Licancabur. In July, Mercury will move into the Sun's glare but reappear a few days later on the evening side. Then, in August, Saturn will drift past the direction opposite the Sun and so become visible at dusk instead of dawn. The next time that all eight planets will be simultaneously visible in the evening sky will be in 2122.

Hmmm...
This picture must have been taken before Kevin Sorbo arrives to save us from the world-ship...
I feel like we’re in a hole and just can’t get out of it.
Poor Pluto. I’m still mourning him...
You don’t need to mourn him. He’s doing just fine, he’s got his own TV channel now…
When Pluto is outlawed, only outlaws will have Pluto.
You can have Pluto when you pry her from my cold, dead hands.
Ted Kennedy's Oldsmobile has killed more people than my Pluto.
It’s just not the same...*sniff*...
Just as I suspected...he looks like Sarah Brady.
Put a lot of thought into
That Photo!
