Do you know what was the special of 17 June 2006? It’s the alignment of Saturn, Mars and Mercury! 
You may refer to Mars Meets Saturn on 17 June 2006 about this event!
I was going to setup my telescope for this event but somehow the hazy sky didn’t allow me to have such a precious experience! 
I had been waiting since 7.00pm for the sky to clear but it didn’t. The Saturn was nearly invisible for me after 8.30pm as the building blocked it. It set on 10:15PM.
Seems like today will not be greater as the sky is even hazier than yesterday……
