Earthshine Conjunction
A conjunction of the young, 2.4% illuminated, Moon with Venus and Mercury.
With Mercury's greatest elongation occurring just a few days back (15Mar18), it was easily spotted by the unaided eye. As the evening star, Venus will reach its furthest distance from the sun on 17Aug18.
