Details:
In addition to the five planets visible to the naked eye, Uranus and Neptune are also present in the eastern sky during the June planetary season. It's just that Uranus and Neptune are too dim to observe. But through the camera, Uranus with a magnitude of 5.8 still has a chance to appear. As for Neptune, it is too dim to capture.
In the early morning of June 24th, I was on the coast of the northeastern corner of Taiwan, and was lucky enough to catch six planets in the thin clouds! That's right, it's six. Through the star map comparison, I did get Uranus, right between the moon and Venus. All the planets and the moon are lined up on the ecliptic, which is truly spectacular!
The landscape below is the sea to the east of Taiwan, which is the Pacific Ocean. The small island below the center of the photo is the famous "Guishan Island" in northeastern Taiwan. Because it is shaped like a turtle, it means "Turtle Island" in Chinese. And many of the bright spots on the sea are the lights of the fishing boats that get up early to work.
