Mercury is also very low on the western horizon for northern hemisphere observers. For Southern Hemisphere observers, Mercury is at its best evening viewing for the year. Look for Mars soon after sunset as well. Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter and Ceres follow in the late evening skies. Venus still shines brightly in the early morning sky before sunrise. One of the best autumn meteor showers, the Orionids, peaks on the 21st with minimal lunar interference and should provide a great show this year.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Courier; min-height: 14px; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Courier; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">* <b>Mercury</b> - Is at greatest eastern elongation (24° above the western horizon) on the 26th.
