| Mercury and a Young Moon |
Elusive Mercury springs into view as January comes to an
end, emerging in the glare of dusk this week. The very thin crescent Moon
emerges at the same time, and a careful observer with a clear western horizon
(and a good pair of binoculars) will have a lovely sight to enjoy. I enjoy
seeing the stars and Moon emerge from the glare of the sunset, and when I have
a clear view of the sky to the west after sunset I also look backwards to
experience the Belt of Venus as it rises on the opposite horizon and envelops
the eastern horizon.
