UK and Ireland Noon today Forecast A round the U K

Atlantic front Around the world

Close out the UK bank holiday with

a delightful sight this evening.

A wafer-thin crescent moon will

hang between the star Aldebaran

and the planet Mercury about 9pm.

Begin your search as twilight falls

and look low towards the western

horizon.

Aldebaran is a red giant 65 light

years from Earth and is the

brightest star in the constellation

Taurus. At roughly 240,000 miles

away, the moon is 1.25 light seconds

distant.

Tonight, it will be a new moon,

with 3.5 % of its visible surface

illuminated. Catching a glimpse of

this alone would make the eff ort

worthwhile, but the real prize lies

just beyond: Mercury. Currently

situated 72m miles from Earth,

Mercury is 6.4 light minutes away.

The Pleiades cluster may also be

visible beyond Mercury at 9.33pm.

The chart shows the view west-

north-west from London at 9pm.
