Details:
The title should be self-descriptive, except to say that Mercury is the "star" just above the clouds at ~8° above the (true) horizon while Saturn is 3x higher. The jet's appearance between the two was serendipitous; it was probably on its way to Las Vegas, which is a hundred miles or so south of here.
