Aqua Rhapsody!...Got to watch the transit of Mercury today, from the top of the tallest building in the university. The viewed rocked, and looking through the telescopes was cool too. For anyone a little confused, the transit of Mercury is what happens when Mercury passes between us and the sun, making it possible for us to observe it.
And since I'm too tired to describe it, here's a nice link. I'll put up more as the photos get developed.

Oh, and this takes the count of planets I've observed up to nine (yes, we're counting the Pluto one). Lucky!
