The tiny inner planet Mercury will be seen passing across the Sun (transit) on Monday, 9th May, 2016<\/em><\/strong>. Although the event will happen fourteen times this century, the next one visible from India will be in 2032. Hence the 2016 transit is a great opportunity to watch this mini-eclipse and also for us to utilise for astronomy outreach.<\/p>\n

The ASI-POEC has created a resource base on this page for anyone to see and share the transit. Scroll below for lots of Events<\/a>, Resource material<\/a>, Information<\/a> and Suggestions<\/a>.<\/p>\n
