Skywatch Alert
I’m hoping the weather here will clear up by tomorrow. At sunset on Sunday, just above the horizon, as the sky darkens, first there is the crescent Moon. As the sky darkens even more, Mercury becomes visible just below the Moon. As darkness deepens, your eyes adapt, and stars appear, the Pleiades can be seen below the Moon, between it and Mercury, just above the western horizon.
