In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Emeritus Dave Eicher invites you to head out during the early evening hours of February 19 to see three planets and the crescent Moon low in the western sky. Venus will be the brightest, followed by Mercury, and finally Saturn. Start looking before twilight ends. Binoculars will help. Good luck!
