Happy Space Science Saturday!
On April 3, 2026, Mercury will reach its greatest elongation west, appearing at its farthest apparent distance from the Sun in the morning sky. This is one of the best opportunities to spot the innermost planet, which is usually lost in the Sun’s glare.
You can start looking now through early April. Mercury will be visible low in the eastern sky shortly before sunrise and will continue to improve as it approaches elongation over the next week.
Because Mercury stays so close to the Sun, it can be tricky to observe, but this upcoming window offers one of the best morning viewing chances of the year.
Safety first: Never point binoculars or a telescope anywhere near the Sun, and do not try to observe Mercury while any part of the Sun is above the horizon.

Project Hail Mary meets reality: 45 planets could harbor alien life

Astronomers have narrowed down the cosmic search for life, identifying fewer than 50 rocky planets among thousands of known exoplanets that may have the right conditions to support life. Using new data from ESA’s Gaia mission and NASA archives, researchers pinpointed worlds in the β€œhabitable zone,” where temperatures could allow liquid water to exist. Some of the most intriguing targets include nearby systems like TRAPPIST-1 and Proxima Centauri, offering tantalizing possibilities just dozens of light-years away.
