@darlingdevine1: Mercury is just past its greatest eastern elongation, about 25° from the Sun—yet it remains difficult to see from Dallas. During Northern Hemisphere autumn, the ecliptic meets the evening horizon at a shallow angle, keeping Mercury low in bright twilight despite its wide angular separation. Look very low toward the west-southwest about 25–30 minutes after sunset. If using binoculars, wait until the Sun has completely set. #fyp #mysticjourneyhour #sky #facts #plants
