Left image: Looking west at 9pm on Monday 3-10-25, Mercury is about 6 degrees above the flat horizon, Venus is 10 degrees and MUCH brighter. Right image: shows that at 9pm on 3-15 in the Upper Susitna Valley, Mercury will be faint and difficult to see only — after sunset, and only 5 degrees above the flat horizon.
