Mercury Arrives at Third Contact
On Monday, May 9, 2016, Mercury reached Inferior Conjunction and visibly passed over the Sun. This is the Transit of Mercury. I captured this shot showcasing Mercury just about to exit the solar disk. This is called third contact and creates the "Black Drop effect" -Scott
