<font face="Arial"><b>Very nice evening sight Monday Sept 1st</b><br>
Look low in the west (where the Sun sets) this evening (Monday 1st) for
the new crescent Moon.<br>
Over to the right of the Moon is bright Venus (the "evening star").<br>
Mercury (bit fainter) will form the upper corner of a
Moon-Venus-Mercury triangle.<br>
Mars is quite a bit fainter, above the three.<br>
</font><font face="Arial">
This is an early-evening sight - just as it gets dark. Later in the
evening they will all have set.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Arial">
<b>Watch the Planets over the next few weeks</b><br>
Mercury will move up above the horizon and reverse down again this
month.<br>
Meanwhile, Venus is slowly moving up and Mars down. <br>
