The summer solstice on June 21 will bring a rare celestial alignment of Mars, Venus, and a slim crescent moon visible to stargazers in North and South America.

While the summer solstice is typically associated with the sun being at its highest point in the sky, this year's solstice will also feature a rare celestial alignment visible to the naked eye.

The alignment of Mars, Venus, and the crescent moon will appear in the solstice's evening twilight, creating a right-angle triangle visible to stargazers.

The best view of the alignment will be on Wednesday, June 21, during the first twilight following the start of the summer solstice.

Mars may be hard to spot without binoculars or a small telescope, but all of the celestial bodies will be visible to the naked eye.

Look for the alignment low on the western horizon during the evenings before and after the solstice.

For a spectacular close-up of Da Vinci glow on the lunar surface, stargazing binoculars or a telescope will help.

To find the perfect spot to watch this stargazing spectacle, find a dark location away from city lights for the best viewing experience.

On Monday, June 19, use stargazing binoculars to spot the slimmest crescent moon possible low on the western horizon.

Tuesday, June 20, will see a slightly brighter and higher crescent moon form a line in the sky with Venus and Mars.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness the celestial alignment of Mars, Venus, and the crescent moon during the summer solstice.

In conclusion, the summer solstice's celestial alignment of Mars, Venus, and the crescent moon is a rare sight visible to stargazers in North and South America.
