Mercury at sunset. Composite sequence at sunset showing the passage of Mercury through the sky over the course of several days. This sequence shows Mercury near the horizon over a period of 22 days. Since Mercury is so close to the Sun, it is only visible near the horizon at sunrise or sunset. Photographed near Figueres, Spain.
