Have you ever seen the planet Mercury? I saw it years ago as it was transiting the sun just before sunset.

    Yes, I have seen it many times in conjunction with both Venus and the crescent Moon.

    Nice. We can't see the horizon from where I live. When I saw it, we lived near the lake and had a full western horizon.

    Y'all don't have a western sky in Toledo? Afraid you might see Chicago?

    We do, but my neighborhood is all tree lined streets. I could go to any of our large, open field parks for better views.

    I've seen a planet or two at some point, when they were pointed out to me.

    I'm waiting for someone to post a comment about Uranus.

      I’m sure I probably have seen it, considering how many different continents and different countries I’ve been to, and the differing elevations, including my time at sea.

    The night skies are wonderful at sea.
