... Меркурий - четвертая по блеску планета: в максимуме она почти так же ярка, как Сириус, ярче же бывают только Венера, Марс, Юпитер. Тем не менее Меркурий очень трудная для наблюдения планета из-за малости его орбиты и, следовательно, близости к Солнцу; его наибольшая элонгация (видимое угловое расстояние от Солнца) составляет 28 градусов. ... Вследствие всех этих разного рода трудностей только самым упорным наблюдателям удавалось обнаружить детали на поверхности Меркурия. ...
