Inner Planets Prance in the West (after sunset)

During the middle part of November, the inner planets Venus and Mercury will both shine in the southwestern sky after sunset. Mercury will be positioned less than two fist diameters to the lower right (or 18 degrees to the
celestial west) of Venus and will set only an hour after the sun. Far brighter Venus will linger for more than hour longer.
