Daniel Fischer<p>That escalated quickly ... yesterday <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Mercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercury</span></a> at dusk was still quite easy to see, today it was - at +0.2 mag. - much harder and only naked-eye if you knew where to look. And at the limit for a simple cellphone: two pictures 8 minutes apart, with the planet 7 3/4° and 6 1/2° up, respectively, and the Sun 9° and 10 1/4° below the horizon.</p>

Daniel Fischer<p>The 2025 evening apparition of <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Mercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercury</span></a> is winding down swiftly now, with the elongation - that had peaked at 18.25° yesterday - shrinking again and the planet down to 0.0 mag. But here it is again this evening over Bochum, Germany, to the lower left of Venus: still naked eye but less conspicious than in this cellphone snapshot. In four days it will already be down to +1 mag. and a week from now at +2 mag.</p>
Benjamin Knispel<p>Mercury and Venus will move closer and closer together in the coming week.</p><p>On 12&nbsp;March, they will be at their minimum distance of 5.5° in the evening. Then Mercury will be fainter and both objects will be at a smaller angular distance from the sun.</p><p>Simulated view for the evening of 12&nbsp;March.

Daniel Fischer<p>I'd say the evening apparition of <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Mercury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mercury</span></a> is already past its peak: the view from Bochum, Germany, again today, with the same clear sky as on the three evenings before - but the planet, down to -0.6 mag. now, is less obvious to the eye and harder to catch for the cellphone camera. When closest to Venus a week from now it will be a full magnitude (factor ~2.5) fainter than today.</p>
MPI für Radioastronomie<p>The planets can be observed not only in visible light but also in the radio range! The first attempts at radio observations of planets began in 1954 when intense radio bursts from Jupiter were detected. This radiation did not come directly from the planet but from processes in its magnetosphere.</p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/FunFact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FunFact</span></a>: Jupiter's magnetic field is massive, even relative to the size of the planet itself – it extends over 650 million kilometers (to the orbit of Saturn!) and is 4000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field. 🚀🌍 A pulsar's magnetic field, however, can be up to 100 trillion times stronger than Jupiter's!</p><p>Radio waves penetrate deep into planet atmospheres or the surface, providing us with information that cannot be obtained through other methods. For example, phase fluctuations in the radio emissions were detected on the Moon and Mercury. On Mars, high electrical conductivity in the soil due to iron oxides was detected.</p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/funfact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>funfact</span></a> Radio astronomy amateurs assure that Jupiter can also be "received" and "heard" at home. All you need is a radio receiver for radio waves in the 18 to 22 MHz range and an antenna specifically designed for this frequency range. 📡</p><p>📷 Radiation belts of the planets, NASA, JPL, NASA/AP | Collage: A.
