![]() Apr 22, 21:10 - Venus and Uranus 14' apart, Alt=-4°, 60% Dark, this looks to be challenging to me with a bright sky at sunset, the planets are close to Sol at 7°, and Mercury below!.Apr 18, 21:49 - Mercury Superior (solar) Conjunction.Apr 17, 06:20 - Moon and Mars 1.3° apart, Alt=-21°, 25% Dark, a lovely pairing with the crescent Moon phase, view after sunset where they will be about 5 or 6° apart, should show Earthshine.Mar 29, 23:28 - Mercury and Neptune 1.3° apart, Alt=-50°, 79% Dark, a non-event, I'd argue, as we're talking faint planets, canted ecliptic, and both are below the plane. ![]() Mar 26, 02:58 - Venus Superior (solar) Conjunction.Mar 13, 23:08 - Venus and Neptune 22' apart, Alt=-48°, 95% Dark, sounds cool on paper but impossible to view given the Sun's proximity.Mar 10, 19:02 - Neptune in Conjunction with the Sun.Mar 5, 00:55 - Mercury and Jupiter 19' apart, Alt=-50°, 95% Dark, while the planets are below the ecliptic and the ecliptic is canted low (in spring time in the morning), they are 27° ahead of the Sun, as viewed around 6:30 AM! *.Feb 11, 09:36 - Venus and Jupiter 26' apart, Alt=21°, 0% Dark, again, an extremely difficult event to view even though we're talking about the two brightest planets possibly visible in the day-time although great care must be employed, particularly since the planets lead the Sun!. ![]() Feb 8, 08:48 - Mercury Inferior (solar) Conjunction.Feb 6, 01:52 - Venus and Saturn 23' apart, Alt=-54°, 95% Dark, I think this will be very difficult or impossible in the bright morning sky, even though Venus is bright, partly because the planets are a mere 12° from the Sun, also they're below the ecliptic, and the ecliptic is canted!.Jan 28, 20:40 - Jupiter in Conjunction with the Sun.Jan 23, 22:02 - Saturn in Conjunction with the Sun, a good reminder that the planet is transitioning from the evening sky to the morning.Jan 20, 13:23 - Mars and Uranus 1.6° apart, Alt=20°, 0% Dark, view after sunset, well up, visible in binoculars, first quarter Moon is close by. ![]()
