Elusive Mercury

(image of Mercury by NASA)

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, only getting as far away at 28°, often getting absorbed by the Sun’s light. Mercury is currently a morning star, rising shortly before Sunrise alongside Venus, who has been a morning star since December 2021, joining Mars, Jupiter and Saturn!

And on June 26th and 27th the Balsamic Moon will join the party, making all of our Solar System that is visible to the naked eye, visible and together!!!

This is a rare celestial event, and I hope you each wake an hour before the Sun to marvel at the awe of this moment!!

Hello, I am xocean alexandre, I am a Visual Artist specializing in illustration, graphic design, fiber arts, and performance. I have used these skills to create installations and performances all over the US including Baltimore, NYC, Austin and San Fransisco.
