Mercury is In Visible Transit around the Sun For the Last Time for Over a Decade

This Outer space phenomenon is fascinating people worldwide today as the rare event takes place. The planet Mercury just so happens to align properly with both the Earth and the Sun, in a way that you can see Mercury as a small black spot orbiting the Sun. This is a very rare cosmic event, called transit, that happens around a dozen times in a century, and this time on the 11th of November. However what is most impressive are the visuals we have showing what is going on as we stare at a black dot on a fiery backdrop.
