On Monday (11 November, 2019) a rare and delightful event will occur: a transit of Mercury across the face of the Sun. During the transit, Mercury will appear as a tiny black dot slowly making its way across the Sun's disk, taking about five and a half hours to make the journey. This happens only about 13 times per century, so it's relatively uncommon thing to be able to see.
