Jenny slowly took out her telescope and started setting it up in front of a huge window. Oh joy, she hadn't used this in a while...
Jenny looked into the telescope while twisting the adjustment knob, only to step back and blink constantly. That was so blurry! After she got her eyes to concentrate again, Jenny looked back and twisted the knob a bit more slowly this time. Ah. Much better.
"
Mercury, where are you?" Jenny whispered to herself. She turned her telescope a bit to the left, only to find random stars far away.
She even forgot what Mercury was supposed to look like.
