Mercury disappearing into twilight

Mercury orbits the Sun in just 88 days, and over the next week, you can see how quickly it moves in relation to Venus.

I took the photograph to the left on Monday the 12th April, at about 9pm, and you can see Mercury and Venus side by side (Venus is the bright object; Mercury the fainter object to the right of the image just slightly lower then Venus in the evening sky). But over the next week, as Mercury orbits around the Sun, it will rapidly move away from Venus to be in line with the Sun on the 28th of April.

So, if you want to see Mercury for yourself, the next few days would be a good time to look...
