Mercury transits the Sun on November 8. In a previous article, “Shadows and Silhouettes,” we offered information on the upcoming transit, and ideas for getting involved. With less than a week remaining, there’s still time to prepare for a daytime astronomy event with a local amateur astronomy club or set up your computer to log into a webcast of the transit. Mercury transits the Sun 14 times this century. Next Wednesday, you can observe the second transit of Mercury this century, come rain or shine, even if you’re on the dark side of the Earth.
