HEY STAR GAZERS, 2020 IS REALLY FUN FOR MERCURY-LOVERS.

OUR SMALLEST PLANET WILL APPEAR TO CHASE VENUS
ALL YEAR LONG, AND THIS WEEK YOU LL BE ABLE

TO SEE THEM LINE UP RIGHT AFTER SUNSET.

IT LL BE HARD TO MISS VENUS SHINING BRIGHTLY
IN THE WESTERN SKY, BUT IF YOU LOOK BELOW

OUR SULFURIC NEIGHBOR PLANET AND JUST ABOVE
THE HORIZON YOU LL GET A GREAT VIEW OF TINY

MERCURY.

IF YOU RE WONDERING, BECAUSE OF MERCURY S
POSITION IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, IT S LIKE

A LITTLE PUPPY: ALWAYS STAYING NEAR THE SUN.

BUT THAT ALSO MEANS MERCURY HAS PHASES JUST
LIKE THE MOON!

RIGHT NOW IT S WANING, SO MERCURY WILL GET
DIMMER EACH DAY SO MAKE SURE YOU SPOT IT WHILE

YOU CAN.

FEBRUARY IS A GREAT MONTH TO SEE MERCURY S
DANCE -- BUT WILL FOLLOW THE SUN BELOW THE

HORIZON A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AFTER SUNSET,
SO DON T WAIT TOO LONG.

GET OUT THERE AND KEEP LOOKIN UP!
