Where's Mercury Now?

Mercury has now disappeared from our skies and is heading for Superior Conjunction in September, then it will reappear in the evening sky in late September. In the meantime, here is Mercury caught in the LASCO C3 camera (the bright object on the far right of the image).
Sunspot action is also happening again. Sunspot group 905 has roated onto the face of the Sun, it will be interesting to watch it develop over the next few days.
