Today's evening sky had amazing view of Mercury - Moon with evening colours in the sky.
Mercury almost +11°15' above horizon and crescent moon illuminated 2.6% and a very faint star near the top-right of the moon is from Taurus constellation. Every astronomical event has it beauty every time it occurs, moon being the most beautiful object in the night sky mercury gave a beauty touch at the top right.
Moon - Mercury were approx. 3° apart [alt].
