The Transit of Mercury

Yesterday our students were able to participate in an exciting and relatively rare astronomical event: The Transit of Mercury! This is when the angle of Earth compared to Mercury is just right that with a telescope and solar filter we can see Mercury passing in front of the sun! The next one visible from North American won’t occur until 2049 so it was an exciting opportunity. We are so grateful to Brandon for setting up the telescopes and for sharing his love of Astronomy with all of us here at Independence High School!
