Mercury and Venus approached the minimum distance

According to EarthSky, the planets were visible in the western sky for 30 to 40 minutes after sunset. However

The researchers note that naked-eye observations were difficult due to buildings and air pollution, but the planets were visible through binoculars.

Sky & Telescope advises looking atwest-northwest and start with the bright stars Pollux and Castor, which are the “main objects” of the constellation Gemini. Just below and to the left of Pollux, if you look with the naked eye, you will see a merger.

Scientists note that Venus is usually seen first -It shines at magnitude (magnitude) -3.8, similar to the brightness of the International Space Station. “Mercury has shrunk to magnitude +2.3 and is only 1/275 bright,” notes Sky & Telescope. “So take binoculars or a telescope with you to pick out Mercury from the sky.”

The planets will remain relatively close in the sky infor several days before Venus continues to move away from the Sun, and Mercury plunges into the horizon. Mercury can be observed in the morning in late June or early July 2021, and Venus in the evening until the end of 2021.
