COSMIC MESSAGE
In May 2016, Mercury crossed in front of the Sun, and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured an uninterrupted view from Earth orbit. This video shows the transit in both optical and ultraviolet light. Scientists use these transits to better understand Mercury's thin atmosphere. The SDO provided a clear and detailed view of the event.
