Facts
Mercury is the smallest of the four inner planets (Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury) and difficult to observe because it is never more than 28 degrees from the Sun, and small angular diameter at greatest elongation but it would be easily to be spot them tonight by naked eye or binoculars, and through by a small telescope for Mercury’s phases ~ 60% sunlit.
