Remember how your mother warned you never to look directly at the sun? Turns out, she was 101 percent correct.
On May 9, an astronomical event that only takes place around 13 times a century will occur: The planet Mercury will travel between the Earth and the sun.
Spectacular phenomena like this often encourage amateur astronomers to break out their dusty telescopes and take a peek. Inevitably, someone will forget just how bad an idea it is to look straight at the sun, whether through the naked eye or a telescope.

"Miss-us-ag-wa?"
President Obama stumbled through the pronunciation of Canadian town Mississauga during Thursday's state dinner in honor of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"This is always tough," the president said, before trying a few times — unsuccessfully — to say the name. The audience laughed good-naturedly. Canada is so nice!
Even Mississauga itself didn't take the gaffe personally. "It's all good. It happens to the best of us," the city tweeted.
