Venus and Mercury Pairing at Twilight
A clear sky on Thursday evening provided a good view of the anticipated pairing of Venus and Mercury with the two planets setting within a few minutes of each other three quarters of an hour after sunset. A bright sunset twilight arch again made it difficult to see Mercury until shortly before dusk. From Friday Mercury will be above Venus and the two will be joined by a thin new Moon on Saturday which will rise past them during the following two days - https://earthsky.org/tonight/mercury-venus-pair-up-at-dusk-may-21-and-22
