That looks a bit high for Mercury… it rarely rises more than 20°- 25° above the horizon. Hm… 🤔

Well, if you found it, I guess it’s yours now.

Hey NWA neighbor. I took a similar photo on Feb 18 about 6:45 but mine was behind some trees. I saw it clearly on my way home and called out „the moon is catching Mercury“. It was an unexpected treat to see it just above the crescent tip of the moon.

Nice shot, congrats. You photographed Mercury, indeed, I checked in Stellarium based on your mentioned location, date and time.

The moon is a white onion???

Sure call it Mercury, but we all know it was really OP’s mom crashing into the moon.

Cool shot though, I dig it man.
