This is the best time to try to spot Mercury this year, when Mercury is at its greatest western elongation. Look for it before sunrise, low in the eastern sky. Unlike our other inner-planet neighbor Venus, Mercury is hard to see with the naked eye... but it is visible. Are you up for the challenge?
