On March 24 of this year, the eastern elongation of Mercury began, an astronomical phenomenon when a given planet reaches its greatest angular distance from the Sun.
This in turn means that Mercury becomes especially visible to observers. According to information, provided by ngnovoros.ruobservation of Mercury is possible immediately after twilight, when the planet is at a low level of observability.
However, light pollution from urban lighting sources can significantly hinder the perception of astronomical phenomena, so it is recommended that Russians leave large cities for observation purposes. Areas farther from populated areas offer clearer skies, allowing for a more detailed view of celestial objects.
Mercury, appearing as a bright point of light in the western sky, can be seen with the naked eye or with binoculars during its eastern elongation. For optimal viewing, it is recommended to choose a location with an open horizon and no obstructions such as trees or buildings.
Residents of Russia are being urged to leave their cities this evening so as not to miss this rare astronomical phenomenon.
