Moon occultations of Mercury

1400626-015 Mercury daylight occultation at 12.30pm
Sunday 26th June 2014 @ 12:30pm
Mercury is occulted by the Moon in broad daylight.

Very hard to see, because Mercury will be just 4% illuminated and the Moon even thinner at less 1% lit.

WARNING
Never look at or near the Sun through binoculars.
Permanent blindness will result even quickly look at the Sun.
NEVER means DO NOT TRY!
