Abstract
Mercury is in superior conjunction on May 31. During the last week of June it should be visible in the evening twilight just above the western horizon. It is in conjunction with Saturn on June 23, passing 1 ° 30' north of it. Venus is a brilliant object in the evening sky, setting about two hours after the sun. Its conjunction with the moon on May 2 at 18h 30m will make a beautiful sight in the evening sky, Venus being 2° north of the crescent moon and Aldebaran 5° to the southeast. On June 1, a daytime occultation of Venus is visible in the extreme western part of the United States. At the standard station (36° N, 120° W), about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, immersion occurs at 15h 43m and emersion at 17h 02m. On June 12, Venus passes 2° north of Saturn.
