Mercury Spotting
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Can you spot the planet? The small disk of Mercury, our solar system's innermost planet, spent about five hours crossing in front of the enormous solar disk. This image from the SOHO spacecraft shows Mercury as a dark spot progressing from left to right. Such a transit gives us a sense of the vast scale of our Sun.
