Three Planet Race
This weekend, three planets will apear very close together just after sunset. To view the planets, go to a spot with a clear view of the western horizon just after sunset. Venus, the brightest planet, will appear first, followed shortly by Saturn and Mercury, both much fainter than Venus. All three planets will be an a portion of the sky about the size of the full moon. It's rare to see Mercury, as it's an interior planet, and therefore always appears close to the sun.
