Hope someone can still catch it today... Wednesdays Mercury transit here in NYC was a rain out but yesterday and today are very clear. Today I happened to check out the sun and behold- Im looking at what the transit would have looked like. In other words what I might be seeing could be a sunspot, I havent ever seen one before, but this looks exactly like the transit I saw covered on the weather channel in Chicago. Would Mercurys transit have been visible via the binoculars to paper method anyhow? What I see looks exactly like the transit ( dot is getting close to right edge ) and seems to be moving in the past couple hours. What is it?
