Best Chance to see Mercury. February 20 - March 12- 2012
-
Hi Everyone just thought that you would like to know that between February 20th and March 12th 2012, the planet Mercury will be far enough from the Sun's glare to be visible shortly after sunset. Mercury will reach greatest elongation from the Sun on March 5th, reaching a relatively bright magnitude of about -1. This will be your best chance to see the planet this year.
GOOD LUCK..................... -
