This special observing session features the best evening apparition of Mercury this year. Through our powerful 24” telescope, you’ll see Mercury shining at 49% illumination—revealing its half-lit phase in remarkable detail.
The sights don't stop there. Venus, glowing at 77% illumination, will appear in a beautiful conjunction with Jupiter, creating a striking planetary pairing in the evening sky. Seeing two of the brightest planets so close together is breathtaking.
Weather permitting. Clear skies are required for viewing.
