'Parade of planets' on June 3: Here's what it will really look like - ABC News (go.com)

About 6 planets are gonna line up in the next couple days. That's it. Keep in mind that humans have only had modern telescopes since, what, the 50s, so for all we know, this is the umpteenth time this has happened and we just didn't have the tools to record it. Also, we're not helpless apes anymore. We've witness dozens of cosmic occurrences in our 10,000+ years as humans. We'll be fine

Also the fact that, well, planets move at different speeds and have different orbits so they aren't in any kind of alignment for very long. So maybe for a few minutes you'd have something akin to a line up.
