[i]I'm guessing that the evening of April 15 will probably be the last chance for most people to get a glimpse of Mercury. Half an hour after sunset, concentrate about 10-degrees (about "one-fist") above the west-northwest horizon. Binoculars will be a big help. First, scan for a hairline crescent moon, only about 36-hours past new phase. About 1-degree below and to the left of the moon will be Mercury, having faded to magnitude +1.5. By the next night, Mercury will have vanished into the sunset fires and the dance will have ended.[/i]
