Yeah, it's just an illusion. If there were something the size of Mercury orbiting Mercury, astronomers would have picked it up years ago from the wobble created.

Very interesting. I don't buy the explanation they gave in the article about the planet Mercury leaving behind a wake like a boat. That was a completely separate object.
