Thanks, again, for the heads-up, Tom. Looks pretty good right now.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Jupiter and Mercury Conjunction In West
Jupiter and Mercury will make their closest approach tonight, when they are
separated by about 2 degrees. It looks like the best view will happen
between 7:00 and 7:20. My planetarium software shows Jupiter on the left at
magnitude -2.1and Mercury on the right at magnitude -0.9. Since the pair is
located due west, you can typically look straight down your street at a low
horizon in Phoenix.
