Venus and Mercury

After a number of days of clouds and rain here, I walked out of the grocery store and was impressed to see two bright planets low in the western sky. One was obviously Venus, the other was a little orangey and initially I thought it might be Mars. However, a quick check on the Internet shows it to be Mercury!

Both planets stand out beautifully in the twilight sky, and with Mercury preceding its brighter sibling toward the western horizon. I pointed the N7UVCAM2 Roving Reporter toward the pair, and captured a few images. I will post them here as soon as I figure out what’s going on with WordPress.
