Description
Periodically, Mercury reaches its greatest angular separation in the sky (elongation) from the Sun. This is the safest way for amateurs to view Mercury. Come join us at the Burbank Soccer Complex! The planet will appear as a “half-Mercury”. The First Quarter Moon and Saturn will also be seen—and there are two predicted visible passes!
Wednesday / Oct. 29 / 5:45 - 7:15 p.m.
