The Taipei City Astronomical Museum announced that the last opportunity this year to view Mercury at its greatest eastern elongation will occur tomorrow. This astronomical event offers optimal viewing conditions for observing Mercury as it appears furthest from the Sun in the Taipei sky. The best viewing time is after sunset, with Mercury appearing low on the western horizon. Specifically, observers in Taipei should look for the planet approximately 10 degrees above the west-northwest horizon around 6:40 PM. The museum encourages the public to take advantage of this rare chance to observe Mercury, as such favorable viewing conditions are infrequent. Clear skies are recommended for optimal observation of the planet from Taipei. Further details regarding viewing times and locations are available from the Taipei City Astronomical Museum.
