Skywatchers note rare six-planet alignment — a human-interest piece amid political headlines

Beyond politics and markets, August 10 also offered a lighter story: a visible alignment of six planets in the pre-dawn sky, an event enjoyed by amateur astronomers and city stargazers alike. Astronomers noted the visual "planet parade" was best seen before sunrise with a clear eastern horizon and minimal light pollution, though binoculars help for the fainter worlds. Science writers used the chance to remind readers about sky-safety tips and upcoming astronomical dates. While not central to policy, the event provided a pause in a news cycle dominated by economic and political stories. Local astronomy clubs and media outlets ran tips for viewers wanting to catch the spectacle. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
