Yeah! Mercury and Jupiter! How cool! NASA reports that there will probably become good views of Mercury this spring as it approaches the northern hemisphere where the ecliptic plane makes a steep angle with the western horizon. This photo was taken off of Froson, an island in Northern Sweden. I'm enjoying looking up at Venus every morning. Planets are so bright and cool.
