( l' r' @" n; O6 CNormally elusive, Mercury will be a "star" for most of April, shining brightly near Venus above the evening skyline.5 {9 p* a6 E+ l1 _# f
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.% {2 }$ C. Z+ {: W
"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.! W# X8 M; ?' _# W
As the cosmic duo climb higher, the'll reach conjunction—their closest approach to each other—on Saturday and Sunday.4 I- t' b% S* ~" c' E$ p8 x, \

The innermost planet, Mercury orbits the sun so closely that a year lasts just 88 Earth days. (See pictures of Mercury taken by a passing spacecraft.)
7 c- Q! j$ G& u' z% v# L) B% ^' m8 IAs seen from Earth, Mercury tightly hugs the horizon, and it appears faint because it's swathed in the sun's glare.% Y  L; V6 i! e
"Most people never get to see Mercury, because it ... isn't very bright. But this conjunction is coming around Mercury's maximum elongation [the planet's farthest angle away from the sun] of 20 degrees on April 8," Gyuk said.; }3 U7 T7 u$ I. c4 Y0 n
Brilliant Venus will serve as a guidepost for sky-watchers to easily find tiny Mercury. (Related: "Neptune Easier to Spot Now, Thanks to Jupiter.")

As darkness sets in, Mars will become visible directly overhead, appearing as a red-tinged, starlike object. A little later, Saturn will appear slightly above the eastern horizon and will rise higher during the night.
