Despite clear skies and good conditions, I could not see Venus today. Is it because the planet has become 'backlit' and no longer showing a distinct phase? I don't know, but it was disappointing.

I later saw Mercury, and as I type (7pm), it is about to set in the same place that Venus has been setting.

Apparently, Mercury will be close to the new Moon tomorrow evening.
