Details:
Tonight the Moon was back in the night sky, beautifully close to Mercury. The elusive planet could easily captured with a camera or even a good smartphone. It was truly amazing to watch, right next to a thin crescent Moon with a subtle earthshine. Jupiter and Venus were not far away, shining much brighter. A very picturesque planetary alignment!
