| Now's the time to catch Mercury showing off. It shines brightly against the deep-orange glow of the approaching day and should be a snap to find around 6 a.m. local time, an hour before sunrise. The innermost planet has a well-earned reputation for quickly disappearing off the stage, however; so don't wait long. |
