      Explanation: On June 15, innermost planet Mercury had wandered about as   
      far from the Sun as it ever gets in planet Earth's sky. Near the   
      eastern horizon just before sunrise it stands over distant Andes   
      mountain peaks in this predawn snapshot from the valley of Rio Hurtado   
      in Chile. June's other morning planets are arrayed above it, as all the   
      naked-eye planets of the Solar System stretch in a line along the   
      ecliptic in the single wide-field view. Tilted toward the north, the   
      Solar System's ecliptic plane arcs steeply through southern hemisphere   
      skies. Northern hemisphere early morning risers will see the lineup of   
      planets along the ecliptic at a shallower angle tilting toward the   
      south. From both hemispheres June's beautiful morning planetary display   
      finds the visible planets in order of their increasing distance from   
      the Sun.
