June 15th not June 3rd: Planet Parade

It was an article in  Star Walk Astronomical News, a planetarium phone app, which instigated the idea June 3rd was the best date to view the alignment of five planets.  But another article from Weather.com challenges the assertion the date is June 3rd but instead suggest it is June 15th AND they correctly call it planetary alignment rather than parade. They recommend using "Stellarium to view this event, it does look fairly impressive. In addition to those six planets, even the Waning Crescent Moon gets in on the show!" 

• 3 planets - Mini planetary alignment –
• 4 planets - Small planetary alignment
•  5 or 6 planets - Large planetary alignment
• Great (full) planetary alignment – all Solar System planets (+ Pluto sometime)

5-7 planets align 

• June 3, 2024: a large morning alignment of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
• August 28, 2024: a large morning alignment of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
• January 18, 2025: a large morning alignment of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn.
• February 28, 2025: a full evening alignment of Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars. This is the next time 7 planets will be visible in the sky at once!
• August 29, 2025: a large morning alignment of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn.
