The ONU Astronomy Club welcomes Ada and the surrounding communities to the ONU Observatory on Friday, March 1, for a "Greatest Elongation of Mercury" event.
The word "Elongation" refers to the angular separation between Mercury and the Sun. Since Mercury's orbit remains closer to the Sun than the Earth, it can never be farther than about 28 degrees from the Sun.
This week, Mercury will be at its maximum elongation on the east side of the Sun.
It's elongation will actually be about 18.1 degrees since it will be near the perihelion (nearest point to the Sun) of its orbit.

January 24, 1950 the Ream Hardware was sold after being in business nearly 50 years. Major A.W. Ream started the hardware store in the former Wolfrom room now occupied by the feed department of the Amstutz hatchery (1950).
He had operated a plumbing shop here prior to that time. The store was later moved to the Doling bakery room now occupied by the Habit recreation; then to the old post office room on West Buckeye Avenue.
