Mercury Transit 2006!

Observing Event CANCELED

Although our observing event is canceled, the Transit will still happen, we just can't see it. Other parts of the country and world that have better views (and better weather) will be watching and some sites will be providing webcasts. So we hope that from your warm and dry office or home, you'll take a few minutes to check out one of the webcasts.
