Next few weeks … Look for Mercury, below Venus​

The next couple of weeks are grand for viewing Mercury below Venus in the west after sunset. 

See it! This weekend's moon near Mars

July 2018 will be Mars' month, when it'll glow brighter than the bright planet Jupiter ... brighter and redder than it's been since 2003. Photos of this weekend's moon and Mars from the EarthSky community, here.

Look for Mercury, below Venus, after sunset
Can't see Mercury? You might be looking too soon after sunset. Or too late after sunset (Mercury might already have set). Tip: Start looking not long after sunset. Use binoculars to scan near the sunset horizon. Mercury will be visible to the eye, but you might need some patience to let the sky get dark enough. Venus will be easy to see!
