Hi All!

Does anyone remember if there was radar bounced off of the surface of
Mercury years ago? If you do, do you have any idea where the
results can be found and who did it?

It popped into my mind today, an artifact of the past. Am I right?

Note: Does anyone live in an area where the skies are usually clear
in the morning or evening at least half of the days of the year? If
someone does, I think I can direct them, if they would like, to
observe Mercury and report back to us. I can give you good tips on
finding the planet and how to best observe and/or photograph it. If
you can find Mercury with binoculars, but have no telescope, I might
be able to loan you one, if you are willing to try to take pictures.

Observing Mercury is not easy. But, very much worth while.I live in
the Pacific NorthWest near British Columbia and it is very hard to
get a clear morning or evening except on rare occasion in the Winter.
We have the rain forest you know! And the rain and clouds to go with
it.

Take care.
