I know it might be getting late for some, but has anybody had the chance to see Mercury transiting the Sun today? The local astronomy club down the block from me has up about 6 amature + 1 pro telescope--such a beautiful sight to see! Esp. through the Celestron CSC 'scope--amazing resolution!
But as people with our toes in astrology, it's neat to see the celestial events play out in real time. For anyone who can't get out today/tonight to see the transit, here's the link from the telescopes in Hawaii--multiple views (compliments of Sky and Telescope): http://astroday.net/MercTransit06.html
Oh, it's due to start showing around 9:12 HST, which seems to be about 7 hours different from MST, or about 9 hours different from EST. So, I'm not a rocket scientist, but here's approx. viewing times : )
EST--2:12 am
CST--1:12 am
MST--12:12 am
PCS--11:12 am
