Today is a rare celestial event - Mercury is passing in front of the sun (the small circular dot in the lower left portion of the sun in the above image). If the sun was actually out and if I had a solar filter and a telescope, I could be viewing it myself. But instead, I'll just have to be satisfied with images from the SOHO satellite.
