I hope everybody got a glimpse of the dim, distant Mars very close to much
brighter Mercury during twilight this evening.
Mercury was unusually bright about 10 days ago (near mag 0 --- about as
bright as Capella in the northwest).
It is fainter now, but still easy to see compared to Mars.
The two planets will have roughly the same angular separation Tuesday night.
Mars will be below Mercury.
