Q: What did Mercury say when it was asked to line up between Earth & the Sun? A: I'll pass!
We witnessed a rare treat during today's #MercuryTransit, which only happens ~13 times a century! Revel in the views captured our@NASASun-observing satellite: https://go.nasa.gov/32IZk6I pic.twitter.com/UqhYHTpAQm -
Here's a Nikon dSLR shot @ 600mm (cropped) from today's
#MercuryTransit, captured about an hour into it. That little dot on the lower left is Mercury, 62.8 million miles away, passing between Earth and the Sun. The next time this will be visible from my location is May 7, 2049. pic.twitter.com/qBsbmpkEVA

Mercury passing in front of the sun from our viewpoint on November 11th is a huge highlight this year in astronomy. We won’t see this again until 2032. Check out this 14 second (5 1/2 hours in real time) time lapse of the

Don't be fooled. This is a fake photo. There were no sunspots on the earth facing side of the sun last Monday.

#MercuryTransit Mercury's nodes are in Scorpio (November) and Taurus (May). For a transit to occur, like an eclipse, the Sun and Mercury are conjunct in longitude, parallel in declination and at the same latitude. Diagram Fred Espenak. pic.twitter.com/LqWPlSqlv4

About 5 minutes of the
#MercuryTransit from Monday. Some of my best shots in the early moments, before the clouds came in. pic.twitter.com/q95FtJgEvW -
My best images of the
#MercuryTransit were right near the beginning, before changing cloud conditions threw off my exposure. pic.twitter.com/fv341NYt0q

It was such a nice day, that I decided to take a picture of the
#MercuryTransit ~every .5 hour, to see if I could make an animation. Did my best to match exposure and position for each image. It's pretty neat to see Mercury's trajectory across the face of the sun!@capitalweatherpic.twitter.com/CAfoaHQ6wM -

For those who like to plan ahead: In the year 6757, you can watch Mercury & the Moon pass in front of the Sun at the same time.

I caught most of the
#MercuryTransit through increasingly annoying clouds. Here’s a timelapse. Look lower left for Mercury.@fcain@JeffEdmondsonWX@Chesapecten@BadAstronomer@Celestron@CanonUSAimaging@StormHour@SkyandTelescope@Slooh@JPMajor@exploreplanetspic.twitter.com/7utqFpU3bhShow this thread -
Over and out. Mercury disappeared off the Sun’s disk at 11:04am MST as seen here in Tucson this morning.

A
#MercuryTransit during the day and a full Moon at night! As winter sets in, this full Moon is called the Beaver or Frost Moon
Technically, the Moon will be opposite the Sun at 13:34 UTC on November 12th, but it appears full tonight & tomorrow night. https://go.nasa.gov/34WYV21 pic.twitter.com/kdGP71W9Df
