Tonight: Venus passes Mercury. Look for the two planets in the morning sky very close to the ESE horizon. Venus and Mercury are 1.2° apart. Mercury is found to the upper left of Venus. The pair are 26° to the lower left of Jupiter. Look 45 minutes before sunrise.

I am studying for my PhD in Astronomy at Cardiff University in the UK. Star formation is my main area of research but really I like anything to do with space, science and the internet.
