Usually you can see Mercury for several weeks at a time. The visibility periods are not the same from year to year, since Mercury's orbit around the Sun is not synchronized with that of Earth.
According to data from the German publication "Kosmos Himmelsjahr 2014", as of July 2014, Mercury reaches it greatest distance from the Sun on July 12. Around those days, you might be able to see it in the morning, right before sunrise. For people who live in the northern hemisphere, "Himmelsjahr" says it will be easier to see after that date.

Which happened last in mercury?
The most recent significant event on Mercury was the MESSENGER spacecraft's successful mission, which concluded in April 2015 after it impacted the planet's surface. MESSENGER provided extensive data about Mercury's geology, magnetic field, and exosphere, greatly enhancing our understanding of the planet. Since then, additional studies and analyses of its data have continued, but no new missions have been launched to Mercury as of now.
What planet has the most visible craters?
Mercury is the planet with the most visible craters in our solar system. Its surface is heavily pocked with impact craters due to its lack of atmosphere to protect it from incoming space debris.

When can someone see mercury?
The orbits of the Earth and Mercury are not in synchrony and so there is not a particular time of the year when Mercury can be seen. Obviously, it will not be visible when it is behind the Sun. Also, it will not be visible when it is between the Sun and the Earth because the light from the Sun will obscure it. When Mercury and the Earth form nearly a right angle, with the Sun at the vertex, then Mercury will be visible at around sunrise or sunset - depending on which side of the sun it is.

What phase of the moon is most visible during the day?
The full moon is most visible during the day because it rises as the sun sets and sets as the sun rises, giving it maximum visibility during daylight hours.
What are the 5 most visible planets and which ones can appear in phases similar to lunar phases and which ones can not?
-- The six planets visible to the unaided eye are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. -- The Earth displays no phases at all. -- All of the remaining five can display gibbous and nearly 'quarter' phases. -- Only Mercury and Venus can display crescent phases.
Why is Mercury used in florescent lights?
A florescent tube is still a mercury vapour device and needs the mercury to vaporise to have the tube conduct to emit visible light.
What are the 5 most visible planets?
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can easily be seen with the naked eye. Visibility changes from year to year; you may want to look up information about specific planets, for specific months and years. For example, at the time of this writing (Oct. 2009), Jupiter can be seen after sunset, as a spectacularly bright star, high in the sky. It will set a few hours later.
When you measure air pressure most accurately you should use a mercury?
barometer. Mercury barometers are very accurate instruments for measuring air pressure because the height of the mercury column is directly proportional to atmospheric pressure. Mercury is a dense liquid, making slight changes in pressure more visible in the barometer.
