Default Astro: Mercury, Jupiter, Mars Conjunction Series

For those of you that got clouded out here's a series of shots from
12-10 through 12-13 showing the movement of the Planets over 4 days.
Mercury is above Jupiter in the first image and below in the rest.
Mars is to the right.

The speed Mercury is moving shows why it got its name!

Hey, they really *do* move!!

A series of images like this are more interesting than a 'single'. Neat!!
