Details:
Mercury is currently about magnitude -1 and very low in the western sky after sunset. I literally found it minutes before it dipped below nearby house roofs. It will be slightly higher in the sky over the next week but it will fade. It never becomes easily visible from my home latitude at 55 degrees north. Can you find the planet in the image?
