☀️🛰️ Mercury at Superior Conjunction
📅 Date: 13 September 2025
🕓 Time: 16:30 IST
🔭 Mercury has just slipped behind the Sun — reaching superior conjunction, where it lies on the far side of the solar system, in line with the Sun and Earth.
🌌 At this point, Mercury is:
☀️ Just 1°36′ from the Sun — completely hidden in the Sun’s glare
🌍 1.38 AU away from Earth — at its most distant (apogee)
📉 Unobservable for the next few weeks
✨ This marks the end of Mercury’s morning apparition and begins its slow shift to the evening sky.
📸 A cosmic reset — next stop: Mercury as a glowing evening star!
