Description: |
CANCELLED: Cancellation: Sadly, the weather forecast is grim enough to warrant cancelling tomorrow’s Transit of Mercury program at Observatory Park. However, “Astro-Nat” Chris reminds everyone that no matter what the weather does, everyone with an internet connection can still watch the transit of Mercury thanks to NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite at https://mercurytransit.gsfc.nasa.gov/2019!
Mercury crosses between Earth and the sun in this rare "mini-eclipse." Drop in anytime 8 AM to 2 PM to try to catch a glimpse of this seldom-seen planet. Cancelled if weather conditions prevent us from viewing the sun. |
