I think all of you have spotted Mercury by now. Can anyone tell me what kind of landscape there is on Mercury? You should be able to work it out by studying Mercury in your telescopes."
He waited to give them a few moments to think before adding "Also does anyone know the mythological story surrounding Mercury?"
OCC: Last questions, I will leave the lesson open until saturday afternoon/night when i will close up and and assign homework.
She knew that Louisa was about to ask her about something else but the Professor had interrupted her. Good thing too for she had the feeling that it was a question not related to the subject.
But seriously, it was almost morning now and Beatrice's eyes are starting to water due to their lack of sleep and continuous finding of Mercury. She yawned carelessly as Professor Roslund asked them about the characteristics of the said planet. And because of her sleepiness, she chose not to answer the first question since many already did and she felt like her head would go haywire if she would once again look into the telescope.
"Mercury is also known as Hermes who is the Greek God's messenger," she said, answering the second question. Or at least that was what she knew. Honestly, she was not sure. She was very sleepy now and the words coming out of her mouth didn't really went through her mind clearly.
