Hey, don't forget Sedna! That little extra tug from the back in this planetary alignment shall herald the end of the world!

Does anybody want to see a photograph of the crescent moon and Mercury that I took with my DigiCam on 03/22 at 7.47 pm?

Indeed, yes!

The following pic shows Crescent Moon and Mercury as seen with naked eyes.

Can you recognize Mercury?

If not, see 2nd pic below the 1st.

Same pic with markers:

This was the last chance to see Mercury in the evening in this year!
