Transit of Mercury - Tellus Science Museum
*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 11/11/2019
Join us as we watch a unique astronomical event: seeing Mercury pass in front of the Sun November 11, 2019. Although Mercury passes between the Earth and the Sun three times a year, both orbital planes must align for a transit to take place.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
The transit will begin at 7:35 AM and end at 1:04 PM. Live images will be streamed into the Tellus Theater where Astronomer David Dundee and other Tellus staff will provide commentary.
The Museum, Café, Store, and Observatory* will open at 7 AM. In the Bentley Planetarium, special shows about the transit will be presented at 8 and 9 AM.
*If skies over Tellus are cloudy, the Observatory will remain closed and we will stream a live feed from another location into the Theater.
