Alyssa was getting frustrated. "How the heck do we find Mercury unless the Sun is about to rise? We can only see Mercury 30 minutes before sun rises and it will be located east of the Sun. Is the Sun about to rise?

If the sun was about to rise, Mercury would be east of where the Sun rises, and it would be low to the horizon. Alyssa pointed her telescope east towards the rising sun and found it!! Yes!! IT WAS Mercury!! Just where it should be, left of the Sun just above the horizon. Alyssa punched the air in jubilation "YES!!"

Then she realized where she was and turned around to see whether anyone had noticed her.
