Monday, May 9 9:30 am - 2:45 pm Transit of Mercury Where: Science Learning Research Center University of Michigan-Dearborn 4901 Evergreen Road Dearborn, Michigan 48128 313-593-5277 (Phone) Status of Events-Hotline 313-583-6566 umd-sky.observers@umich.edu Special Event Monday, May 9! Public Viewing of the Transit of Mercury! On Monday, May 9th, the planet Mercury will pass in front of the Sun. Astronomers call this type of event a 'transit' and historically transits have been used to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, a measurement that is so important it is called 'The Astronomical Unit'. Although not as rare as transits of Venus, transits of Mercury only occur about a dozen times a century. The next transit of Mercury will not occur until November of 2019. So that people can safely observe this event for themselves, the University of Michigan - Dearborn Observatory will be open for public viewing from 9:30 am until 2:45 pm on May 9th (weather permitting). You will be able to observe the disk of Mercury crossing in front of the Sun, as well as seeing sunspots, solar flares and other features of the Sun. Never look at the Sun without proper equipment! The Observatory is located on the main campus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn, in the Science Learning and Research Center (SLRC). Please take http://astronomy.umd.umich.edu
