Venus and Mercury was created by paulevans
I thought this made a nice start to the weekend!
Being oop North, Saturn gets within 9 arcmins later - the North Pole and Siberia get an oocultation.
Clear skies,
Paul.

Thanks guys!
What I fail to understand is that when the ancients saw things like this, and it's partner here taken on the morning of 9th August last year, how did it take so long to figure out that these two planets move around the Sun?
