| How about this for an exciting story? Greg Redfern captured the trio on April 2, 2019, and wrote: “The good ship Azamara Pursuit is racing at 18.6 knots – her full speed with 4 engines on line – due to a medical emergency to Agadir. Mercury is easier to see from Earth’s equatorial regions and Southern Hemisphere now, but will rise higher and become possible to see from across Earth later this month. Thank you, Jenney! She is in Sabah, North Borneo, which is about 5 degrees north of the equator. Jenney Disimon captured this view of Venus above the moon and Mercury on April 2, 2019. | Venus has been in our morning sky for some months, but Mercury is just now returning to the east before sunup.

I labeled them in the picture.” Thanks, Nicholas! View at EarthSky Community Photos. I had to zoom in to the raw photo to find Mercury and the moon. Nicholas wrote, “I was doubtful I could get Venus, Mercury, and the moon as it was so close to sunrise, and the moon is very small as it wanes towards new. It’s surprising because, by the time Earth’s spin carried the moon into view on April 3, it was a very thin crescent indeed and very near the sunrise. Nicholas Holshouser caught the 2 planets and the moon on April 3, 2019, too, from the Blue Ridge Parkway near Brevard, North Carolina. Hazy morning, but at least the clouds cooperated.” View at EarthSky Community Photos. He wrote: “Waited all week to capture this image. The moon was a very thin crescent near elusive Mercury.

| Dr Ski was at the coastal city of Dumaguete, Philippines, when he captured this shot on April 3, 2018.
