Starwatch: Mercury is the big prize in a delightful trio

A wafer-thin crescent moon will have Aldebaran and the inner planet for company

Close out the UK bank holiday with an absolutely delightful sight this evening.

Around 21.00 BST, a wafer-thin crescent moon will hang between the star Aldebaran and the planet Mercury. Begin your search as twilight begins to fall, and look low towards the western horizon. By 9pm, you should be able to see the three celestial objects.
