Mercurian Elongation
October 29 @ 5:45 pm - 7:15 pm
NOAA has issued a Wind Advisory until 7pm.
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. [For ages six and older. Binocular recommended. No admission fee.]
NOAA Forecast (Very Good): precipitation potential 0%, sky cover 20%, relative humidity 60%, temperature 14C, wind NW 20 km
