Crescent Moon ,Venus and maybe Mercury

 On Saturday March 1st and Sunday March 2nd a thin crescent moon can be seen below the bright planet Venus in the southwest just after sunset.

If you are very lucky and you have a very clear western horizon you might just catch a glimpse of Mercury below the crescent moon.

Venus will be around 6 degrees above the Moon. If you are not sure how wide a degree is look at the guide with this post.
