Mercury Makes a Rare Move Across the Sun
Mercury made a rare move across the sun. NASA said the event occurs only about 13 times a century.
The entirety of Mercury’s journey was viewable to the eastern U.S. and Canada, as well as most of western Europe and South America. To catch a glimpse, viewers needed binoculars or telescopes with protective solar filters.
