Say goodbye to Mercury until it pops up in the dawn sky in July. The smallest planet can be found tonight to the lower left of Venus. Look to the west-northwest at 9:35 p.m. for Venus shining low above the horizon. Mercury lies to its left. Binoculars most likely will be need to spot i, though,t unless the sky is very clear. After tonight, it will be too low to spy its feeble light in the bright twilight.
These two images were taken June 18 at 9:40 p.m.
Such is our view from Earth...
