"On the evening of April 4, Mercury will be shining at magnitude -1.1...
...Currently, Mercury is visible about 45 minutes after sunset, very near to
the horizon, slightly to the north of due west....
...It's at greatest elongation, nearly 20 degrees to the east of the Sun, on
April 16. Shining at magnitude +0.2 (just a trifle dimmer than the star
Rigel in Orion), Mercury sets nearly two hours after the Sun on this
night..."
