In addition to the planetary alignment, comet Utsunomiya will come really close
to Mercury on May 3rd. The comet is not about 9 degrees north of Mercury and
slowly approaching the planet. By May 3rd, its magnitude would have dropped to
6th magnitude, but still, it should be an awesome sight!
Clear Skies!
