Hearing Nothing at the moment.

Caught in Transit




Tomorrow the planet Mercury will pass in front of the face of the sun, something that we here on Earth see maybe once a decade or so. So you'll want to see this as it happens. However, don't try to do that by looking directly at the sun, since that's a lovely way to make your optic nerve cry. Instead, check out this page, which will feature photographs of the event taken by special telescopes designed for just this sort of activity. It's astronomy in action!
