Venus and Mercury Caught on Tape!

Our dear Executive Director John Bray took some photos of Venus and Mercury on April 9th, 2010.  Below you can see a bright Venus in the upper left and slightly dimmer Mercury to it’s bottom right as they set on the horizon right after sunset, around 7:40 pm.  The last picture shows them low on the horizon, you can see the reflection of both planets in the pond below (Eli ‘s Pond).  Note: Click a picture to expand and play the slide-show.  If you move the mouse cursor off the picture, the “controls” will disappear.
