Mercury Transit of the Sun

Event

Mira Astronomers,

There will be a transit of Mercury across the Sun on Monday morning, November 11.  The transit will take place from sunrise to 10 am. We are planning to use the WSO, but if it is not available, I will also have my scope there for viewing and will be there around 7:30 to get setup.

The next visible Mercury transit will not occur until 2049, so don't miss this one!
