Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercury is one of the five classical planets visible with the N4KED eye and is named after the swift-footed Roman messenger god. It is not known exactly when the planet was first discovered - although it was first observed through telescopes in the seventeenth century by astronomers Galileo Galilei and Thomas Harriot.
