Planet Mercury is again in the center of the world's attention, and this is because in the next period a new impressive phenomenon will take place, which will be visible even from Earth. If you have followed the planet Mercury in the starry sky, then you will certainly be happy to know that in the third week of July the planet will be visible to everyone again in an important position, along with several other planets in our solar system .
Planet Mercury it will appear in the sky next to Jupiter, Saturn, and partially Venus, and this is part of the usual movements that the four planets make around our sun. The planet Mercury is the closest to the sun at the moment, and it is quite normal that it is not visible even that well, considering that it follows an orbit that often hides it from the Earth, but here it is in the third in the month of July, things are going to change.
Planet Mercury: A UNIQUE phenomenon that will Amaze Many Observers
Planet Mercury it is at this time of the year in a position that makes it harder for astronomers to observe, and that is also because Venus is also covered to a good extent by the sun. However, in July, the planet Mercury will be visible in a spectacular "dance" with Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and even Mars, all of which can be seen in the sky in the morning hours, so you will have to be near the telescope quite early, somewhere around 05:00.
Planet Mercury it even recently had a spaceship sent to it to analyze it closely, this being sent by the Japanese and European space agencies. BepiColombo, as the spacecraft is called, is going to first pass by Venus, which it will photograph closely, and then it will reach the planet Mercury, from which it will try to gather as much information as possible for the researchers on Earth in the following months.
Planet Mercury it remains a very difficult planet to explore due to its very close proximity to the sun, but maybe the BepiColombo ship will be able to give us answers to some of the questions we have.
