Today:
Mercury makes its best evening showing of the year over the next ten days. Look low in the west-northwest this evening starting near 9:15 for a bright spark of light buried in the twilight, a bit more than the width of your hand, held at arm’s length, above a level horizon. Mercury will inch a little higher through the next week, but it begins to lose some of its brightness thereafter.
