Many of you have noticed the planets Jupiter and Venus in the western sky.
Take a look at the bright object below them. It is the planet Mercury. A
rare view for Mercury because it moves so fast.
Twinkle,twinkle,little star,
How I wonder where you are,
Looking up is no solution;
The sky's so full of light pollution.
