APOD 4.6
I can only imagine the trouble it is for astronomers to observe Mercury. With the planet being in such a close distance to the sun Im sure it is somewhat impossible to gain visual observations of the planet. The imge is very cool and portrays just how difficult it is to even spot Mercury. I must appreciate however not being so close to the sun when witnessing this image. It make me understand that if Earth was not at its prime location is correlation to the Sun the human species would not be what it is today if even exist. Our location provides the perfect range of temperatures for our kind to survive.
