THE HAPPENING WORLD: Venus and Mercury at Dusk this Evening
Mercury is about a degree below Venus this evening. Look low to west-north-west right after sunset. You might need binoculars to make out faint Mercury in the twilight but ensure the Sun has fully set before attempting to observe. pic.twitter.com/VwVsgRvYb1
