Yesterday evening about 9:30, Mercury could be found to the left of the two brightest stars of Gemini, Castor and Pollux. (Pollux is the star closer to Mercury.) All three celestial lights were difficult to spot. Look closely, they were there. They will be there again tonight and the next few nights, with Mercury shining a little higher having broken the straight line it formed with the two stars.
You need clear skies and a clear west-northwestern horizon to see this.
Such is our view from Earth...
