It does seem a very rare club Dave, but if I were its chairperson (The Mercury Watchers Club), and I charged even just €10 annual membership fee for the population of Earth (8 billion -> 8,000,000,000,000,000?), that nets me - sorry, the club - about €8,000 million a year...

...€10 is alright for membership, isn't it? :D

Hi,

I don't know where the 1% figure for people who had seen Mercury came from. That works out at 65 Million people!

Last week I gave two (non-astronomers) in work accurate charts for finding Mercury, but both failed to notice it. They are not complete novices as they observed the ISS before.

For those still waiting to see Mercury, see my photo of Feb 2nd at:

John that talk on the birth of stars will be interesting seeing that the pillars of creation were obliterated! :shock:

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .
