Explanation:
This weekend three planets will grace the western sky, forming a lovely trio
easily visible shortly after sunset. Saturday evening in particular will find Saturn,
Venus, and Mercury all within a 2 degree circle (about the size of your thumb
held at arm's length) above the western horizon. Recorded last Sunday, June 19,
this image shows the same three planets arrayed along the ecliptic plane above
a Colorado Rocky Mountain skyline. Venus is easiest to pick out of the
twilight, the brightest celestial beacon below picture center, with Saturn
above and to the left of Venus, and Mercury closest to the horizon, right of
prominent Pinnacle Peak. By Saturday, the wandering planets will draw even
closer together. For help spotting the planets here, put your cursor over the
picture.
