John had said that that one was difficult to see because it stays so close
to the sun, so I originally left it out.  But if the ancients could see it,
then I guess that the Nidirino can, too.  And anything that they can
perceive moving against the starfield, they will worship.  So I guess
that's, yes, they do worship Mercury as well.
