An exciting adventure of astronomy could survive on 9.bm. on Wine Hill. For a few hours you can watch the journey smallest planet of the Solar System – Mercury – in front of the solar disk.
This time astronomical phenomenon would last for several hours and interested were coming in groups. In addition to classic viewing through telescopes, you could be seen on the screen direct transmission. I mainly benefited from this because Mercury was only a tiny dot, invisible when viewed through the tinted glass. Sunspots were larger.
Only the spot, and if aroused excitement! Full of astronomical phenomena are not always visible in our country and happen very often. Although you can specify up to the minute fall every few hundred years, or even less frequently. Mentioned, for example, transfer Venus four years ago. When the planet disappeared before the solar disc, the excitement was huge. Her re-transit already see the next generation.
In the case of Mercury, the frequency is higher and has twenty years experience happens again. It is also the hope for those who could not watch now or came too late. But they are not to blame. Darkening clouds, rain began to fall. The decision was made to discontinue the observation was to protect expensive equipment.
can therefore be disappointed, those who were preparing for a performance at sunset. However, the power of nature no one can beat.
