Yes, it is correct.
Mercury
It is visible, but not obviously as a planet. It is millions of miles away, and appears as a very bright star near the horizon, shortly before dawn or shortly after sunset. For some of the year, it is invisible because it appears too close to the Sun.

Good question, but from what I have read/seen no, the hubble only takes pictures of distant celestial phenomena. Why can't it take pictures of the sun?
The acceleration of gravity on Mercury's surface, and therefore the weight of anyobject located there, is 37.7% of its value on the surface of the Earth. It followslogically that a person whose body weighs 100 pounds on the Earth's surfacewould weigh 37pounds 11.2ounces on the surface of Mercury just before it beganto vaporize in the bright sunshine there.
Mercury's sunlight is very bright because it is closest to the sun.
Mercury gets very bright sunlight as it is much closer to the sun than we are.
Mercury WAS used for mirrors- it provided a bright reflection that did not tarnish.
In fact, both planets are dark. The only reason Venus looks bright to us is not because it has it's own light, but because it reflects light from the Sun. It's the same thing for Mercury.So, both Mercury and Venus appear bright to us.
No. Mercury has nothing to do with comets. Comets are objects that orbit the sun independent of the planets.
Mercury is between the earth and the sun, so it is hard to find when you are looking into the sun, which is so bright.

Yes. In fact, Mercury is so bright that it can be seen with the naked eye - and it appears as a fairly bright star, so it would be fairly easy to detect a planet that is quite a bit closer to the Sun.
