  • Mercury in Transit

    Mercury will pass directly in front of the sun Wednesday for 5 hours starting at 9:12 a.m., per the Star Bulletin. Hawaii will have the best view. They recommend watching it on webcast or tv. No staring at the event without a solar filter.

    For more info and to watch the event, per the Star-Bulletin, go to http://astroday.net/MercTransit06.html

    the next time this will happen will be in 2062.

    eta: This probably would have been seen as some kind of portent in the past. Wonder what people would have thought it boded?
