Mercury Climbs Past Jupiter (after sunset)
Just above the western horizon after sunset for several evenings centered on Saturday, June 7, the planet Mercury will form a close conjunction with Jupiter. Mercury's swing away from the sun will lift it from Jupiter's lower right (or celestial northwest) before Saturday to a thumb's width to Jupiter's right (or 2.4 degrees to Jupiter's NNW) on Saturday, and then progressively higher than Jupiter from Sunday onward. The duo will be close enough to share the view in a backyard telescope or binoculars from Saturday to Monday. Ensure that sun has fully set before pointing any optics toward the western horizon.
