Venus and Mercury Pair Up in Twilight
Sky & Telescope - 2010 March 27
For about the next 10 days, the two closest planets to the Sun will shine together low in the twilight after sundown. Anyone can see them; they’ll form an eye-catching pair. You’ll just need a clear sky and an open view toward the west about 30 to 60 minutes after sunset.
