Mercury transit on May 7, 2003
The view through a large telescope may have offered scenes like this one, when the black disc of Mercury (above, left) passed near a group of sunspots on the solar surface. This picture is a montage that was created for a press release before the Mercury Transit that took place on May 7, 2003.
