A composite image showcasing the path of Mercury across the evening sky over Leeds, England in March 2004. Each point of light represents Mercury's position 33 minutes after sunset on a different day. A crescent moon is visible in the lower left corner, with a cityscape silhouetted against the twilight horizon. The image beautifully demonstrates Mercury's close proximity to the sun and its challenging visibility from Earth.
