cool stuff
Mercury just before transiting our sun ...image from the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly unit (SDO/AIA) on 11/11/2019 123434 UTC. More info on the SDO: https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dashboard/ https://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard...-193-angstrom/ I saw the transit in 2016, today was the last opportunity to see it until 2032.
