Well, cupcake, to see Mercury saunter on by, you better whip out your telescope with a solar filter. This petite planet loves to prance across the face of the Sun, so make sure you set up your viewing location facing our fiery friend. And hey, remember to protect those peepers or you'll be seeing spots for days.
What else can I help you with?
Which planet can transit the sun?
The planet Mercury is the only planet in our solar system that can transit across the face of the sun as seen from Earth. This event is known as a transit of Mercury and occurs when Mercury passes directly between Earth and the sun.
Which planets crossed the face of the Sun in transit after 122 years?
The planets that can cross the face of the Sun in transit are Mercury and Venus. They have specific orbital patterns that align with the Sun to create these rare events, known as Mercury transits and Venus transits. After 122 years, both Mercury and Venus would have completed multiple transit events.
What happens when mercury passes the earth and the sun?
It's called the Transit of Mercury, is rare (last 2006, next 2016) and should only be watched through strong protective spectacles or a welder's mask or equivalent.

Why can't the Hubble telescope see mercury?
The Hubble Space Telescope cannot see Mercury clearly because Mercury is too close to the Sun, making it difficult for Hubble to observe without damaging its instruments. Additionally, Mercury's small size and proximity to the bright glare of the Sun make it challenging to distinguish from the surrounding brightness.

What occurs when an object in space comes between the sun and a third object?
It's called a transit. e.g. When Venus or Mercury come between Earth and Sun we get a transit of Venus or a transit of Mercury. If it's the Moon and the conditions are right, we get a special type of transit called an eclipse, and that is because the angular sizes of the sun and moon are very similar.
Are the Hubble Telescopes photos of the transit of Venus available to view?
yes
Will you need a telescope to view the 2012 transit of Venus?

What planets if any will appear to pass directly in front of the Sun from your earth based perspective which planets if any will never transit the sun?
Mercury and Venus are the only planets that can transit the Sun, from where I am.
What is the difference between an eclipse and a transit?
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes through the shadow of another, like a solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the Sun. A transit is when a smaller celestial body passes in front of a larger body, like the transit of Mercury or Venus across the face of the Sun.
What are the effects of transit advertising to the awareness of Filipino consumers?
Filipino consumers, like many other Asian consumers, view transit ads in cities where they reside. The transit advertising posters reach them on the street in their communities. The transit ads are also visible to them when they ride the bus from work to home from school to home.
