A successful view for me of Mercury's transit of the sun thru members' telescopes ( with solar filters)like of the Amateur Astronomers Association NYC at Floyd Bennett field community garden. Nice guys to talk to. I'm glad I was aware of this event and clear skies a gift this morn. The next Mercury transit won't pass in this region until 2046! By the way u know how fast it travels? Almost 106,000 miles per hour!
