Celestial Trio: Mars, Venus, and Mercury Align with Crescent Moon

On Wednesday evening, the crescent moon will be joined by three inner planets of the solar system - Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Venus will be the brightest and appear first, followed by Mars. Mercury will be dimmer and harder to locate, requiring a telescope. The best viewing time is between 9 and 9:30 p.m., and the celestial display will be visible through Thursday.
