In North America they will appear in the Northeastern sky. Binoculars will be needed.

Funny---my son sent me this notice and said Happy Birthday!! Like he special ordered for me. My b-day is June 3rd and I will be up but prob can't see it--we are due for an atmospereic river here in WA state tomorrow so no chance of a clear sky. I think you will only be able to see a few of the planets with your bare eyes--the other will need a telescope!

Krypton???  🤣

I think Neil deGrasse Tyson was checking to see who was paying attention.   There are 3 planets on each side of "KRYPTON"

I think it was inserted as a joke. There are six planets without Krypton.

You always have the best posts!😃❤️

Thanks for letting me know about this.  I hadn't even heard about it.  This is definitely something I'd love to see.

I've never heard of the Planet Krypton. Isn't that what disables Superman's super powers?

@monicakm We think it was inserted as a joke. The actual 6 are shown three on each side.

@monicakm Superman is from the planet Krypton and it is Kryptonite that weakens him. NDT is pulling a fast one, though.

Cool, too bad I won't be up right before sunrise...
