Transit of Mercury viewing

Foothill College Observatory will be open from 8AM until 11:45AM for theTRANSIT OF MERCURY. While the transit is in progress at sunrise (6:04AM), the small disk of Mercury will be difficult to see until it rises a bit higher and gets into better seeing conditions. This is the first transit visible since November 8th, 2006 and there won't be another one until Nov 11th, 2019 (again Mercury in transit while the Sun is rising for the Bay Area).

Cloudy or poor weather conditions will cancel this event.
