Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the Solar System, orbiting the Sun once every 88 days. The orbit of Mercury has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets, and it has the smallest axial tilt. It completes three rotations about the axis for every two orbits. The perihelion of Mercury’s orbit precesses around the Sun at an excess of 43 arcseconds per century; a phenomenon that was explained in the 20th century by Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.Mercury is bright when viewed from Earth, ranging from −2.0 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude, but is not easily seen as its greatest angular separation from the Sun is only 28.3°. Since Mercury is normally lost in the glare of the Sun, unless there is a solar eclipse, Mercury can only be viewed in morning or evening twilight.

How did the creator arise from nothing?
You would probably say he was already there, but others say those planets were already there. Your logic is flawed. Verbally combat me through text instead of slamming your head against the keyboard.
Aren’t you too old for an imaginary friend anyways?

This planet is very hard to spot since it is so close to the sun and is most often in the sun’s glare. It only takes some luck to actually see Mercury when it is at greatest elongation. I ended up seeing this planet when I was observing Venus as a tiny point of light just after sunset.

Always is wonderful any good information about any planet when must of us don’t know anything about.
I thanks very much for this great video.
And for those who talks bad or good about this video I can tell that there are natural laws about the creation of the universe that nobody can’t refuse .
Please let the good human’s mind to find out all the answers about the universe creation and civilization to judge unsustainable matter.
Thanks for this informative video.

whatthewhat? in whose calendar is it 2014 on mercury? meaning # of their years since their zero-year? that would put their zero-year in earth’s 1525. what happened in 1525? oh wait.. Mercurian Jesus was born?!
or maybe you’re trying to say earth’s julian calendar as seen from mercury has relativistically gained 2 earth years over the lifetime of the solar system? which is of course false, time passes more slowly, not faster, on mercury
so i guess i’m gonna go with space-jesus.
