Astronomy Tonight: Mercury, Venus and Mars

If you have a clear view of the western horizon, you'll be able to see three planets tonight. Mercury, Venus and Mars are headed closer and closer together each day.

Look to the west 30 minutes after sunset. The planets will be very low on the horizon. If it's not dark enough yet, you may need to use binoculars to see all three planets.
