[Centaur]

On the morning of 2005 JAN 13, Mercury will pass to the celestial south of Venus by only 19 arcminutes.

I have created a graphic previewing the event as viewed from Chicago before dawn on January 13, although it should well serve observers at other locations. To see it, click:

Curt,

Always great to not only be notified of an upcoming astronomical event...but to get a graphical representation of it as well.

Please visit Curt's site for the full graphic and other astronomical information.

I will certainly make the effort that morning to try and catch it.

Thanks again for the work.
