"mercury"

A rare five-planet “parade” will be visible in the skies above Thailand before dawn on Friday and Saturday, the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (Narit) said on Thursday.

Deputy Minister of Public Health, Satit Pitutacha has warned consumers about Facebook posts touting facial creams that use such chemicals as mercury and hydroquinone to allegedly reduce blemishes and dark spots.

Is Mercury's core liquid or solid, and why -- on the smallest planet in our solar system -- is it so big? What can the planet closest to the Sun tell us about how our solar system came into being?

The mercury atop Doi Inthanon mountain in Chiang Mai plunged to 5 degrees Celsius amid raining and thick fog on Thursday morning, a senior park official said.

The temperature in Chiang Mai’s Doi Inthanon National Park dropped to six degrees Celsius on Sunday morning, and the tourists climbing Thailand’s highest peak found it thrilling. 

The northeastern province of Sakon Nakhon experienced a sharp drop of temperature by seven degrees Celsius, the local weather forecast office reported on Wednesday.

The temperature on top of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest mountain and a popular tourist destination, fell to 10 degrees Celsius on Saturday morning, signalling an early winter for the Northern province of Chiang Mai, a park official said.

The pubic is urged to get up early from Friday to Sunday to witness a special alignment of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury and the moon.
