As though to commend Jupiter’s final days in the evening sky, or perhaps to leave us with some little bauble as our largest planet disappears from view, our smallest planet has joined Jupiter on the sunset horizon. On Monday, March 14, you’ll find tiny Mercury glistening to the near lower-right of brighter Jupiter. The following evening, March 15, Mercury will be more apparent as the two planets sparkle side-by-side. By next week, Mercury will humbly adorn the sunset, where Jupiter once reigned supreme.
