Conjunction central
(click to enlarge image) Well, the Mars-Saturn conjunction is now over, over the coming days Mars and Saturn will draw apart again, but the show isn't over yet. Mercury is now pretty obvious (it's lurking in the left-hand trees in this image, you may need the larger version to see it) and slowly rises towards Saturn. On June 28 and 29 the thin crescent Moon will join the line up for a really great evening display.
