Both planets will be visible to the naked eye for the next two weeks as bright, starlike objects that will dominate the low western sky shortly after sunset.4 @  `2 @# o2 ?' L! i& _
"From a place with a low horizon, one should be able to get a nice view of these two planets hanging in the darkening sky like gems," said Geza Gyuk, staff astronomer at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.

Those nights the two planets will seem to be separated by only three degrees, or the equivalent of six full-moon disks.

As seen from Earth, Mercury tightly hugs the horizon, and it appears faint because it's swathed in the sun's glare.

As an added bonus, planet-hunters already out to spy Venus and Mercury will be able to see all five naked-eye planets in a single night.
