Space Weather News for March 11, 2005

SUNSET MERCURY: If you would like to see the planet Mercury, normally
hidden by the sun, this weekend is the best time of the year to do it.
When the sun sets on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Mercury will shine like
a bright star through the rosy glow of the western horizon. Pay special
attention on Friday, March 11th, when Mercury appears beautifully close to
the slender crescent Moon.
