Moon passes Mercury


Last night, the Moon hovered just to the upper right of Mercury. From 8:50 p.m. until they sank below the wnw ridgeline, they gave an enchanting sight.

Tonight the crescent Moon will be quite a bit above the little planet, perhaps 25 of its diameters above it. Be sure to use binoculars for a better view.

Such is our view from Earth...
