Mercurian Elongation

MERCURIAN ELONGATION

at the Burbank Soccer Complex
No admission fee. For ages six and older.
Binocular strongly recommended.

Periodically Mercury reaches its greatest angular separation in the sky (elongation) from the Sun. This is the safest way to view Mercury by amateurs.

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 available. Finally, there is a predicted visible pass of the Tiangong Space Station
