I went up the rocks on the beach of Costa da Caparica, in Almada, Portugal, and tried to record the beautiful conjunction between the Moon, the Pleiades and the planet Mercury, one of his rare appearances. Between the strong Earthshine in the Crescent Moon and the planet Mercury, we also can see the track of an airplane providing a great astronomical landscape view. We can still see, the light of the moon reflected in the puddle of rocks.
