Free and open to the public
Join us on the Quadrangle to view this rare astronomical event! The Transit of Mercury phenomenon occurs when the sun, the planet Mercury and the Earth are aligned in a such a way that Mercury gradually crosses in front of the sun’s orb, allowing its silhouette to appear as a tiny black dot. The telescopes will be equipped with safe solar filters, as observing the sun improperly can result in permanent eye damage.
Note: This event will only take place if skies are not overcast. Please check our Facebook event to confirm that the event will take place.
