Wednesday's Mercury Transit event at the St. Louis Science
Centers's planetarium could not have gone much better. The
weather gods smiled up on us and the day turned out to
be perfect following a couple of days of very cloudy
weather. It was sunny the entire time with almost no
clouds in the sky worth mentioning and temperatures in
the 70s. A perfect day for observing a solar rarity!
The only way it could have been better is if it had
occurred on a weekend… we had at least 9 scopes setup by
our members, with plenty of time to observe since we had a light crowd.
