Mercury's best dusk view peaks on June 15 before sun glare returns
TL;DR Summary
Mercury reaches its greatest elongation of about 17 degrees from the Sun on June 15, making it one of this year’s best opportunities to spot the inner planet after sunset in the western sky, with Jupiter and Venus nearby and a slim Moon also visible; after this date Mercury will slowly fade toward the horizon, heading toward an inferior conjunction on July 12 and a shift to the morning sky later in the year.
