Try looking with a telescope, it's incredible.

I have a telescope that I bought years ago when I first moved into my house, but I was never good at using it. I’ll give it a try.
I still think that your ability to see planets so clearly, without any magnification, is insane.

getting into the whole planets, stars, and universe thing is a cool Lil rabbit hole to go down
unfortunately, my flip-phone does not have cool apps.
also didn't really have a find my phone feature i found more important at the time

Back in late June this year you could see 5 planets in line along the ecliptic at sunrise. They were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn... all with the naked eye.
Specifically on June 24th the waning moon went into a position between Venus and Mars and all planets appeared in order based on distance from the sun with Mercury close to the horizon just before sunrise.
This "conjunction" was like observing the Solar Systems equivalent to a straight flush.
It is extra cool to see Saturns rings and the moons of Jupiter with a telescope.
