We've had cloudy or overcast weather for days now ..... but no rain til Friday night. We haven't been able to see much of anything. Tonight may be our only chance as I think it's supposed to cloud back up again tomorrow and stay that way for several more days.
If we're going to have the clouds, it seems like we could at least have some rain to go with them ...... :-(
The planetary show is supposed to be best soon after dusk, isn't it?
Yes, Kay, an hour plus after the sun goes down....Venus is so bright, of course, it doesn't have to be completely dark, but Mercury is fainter, so it has to be pretty dark...
Do you need a link to the NASA article?
There are other possibilities for later in the month, too...
