Mercury, passing between the Sun and Earth yesterday, left extraordinary visuals for the observers. Mercury’s passing in front of the Sun can be observed in the world is an important event. Because there are only two planets that can pass between the Sun and the Earth; Mercury and Venus.

We are even a little more fortunate; for four of these 13 transitions took place over the past decade. However, the next Mercury transition will take place in 2032. More precisely, in 2032 we will be able to observe that Mercury passes between the Earth and the Sun.
— NASA Sun & Space (@NASASun) November 11, 2019 The passage of Mercury, which took place yesterday, was observed for 5.5 hours in eastern North America and South America. During this transition, astonishing photographs and videos were obtained by astronomers and observers. Of course, the best images of Mercury’s passage were obtained by NASA. NASA’s telescopes worked exclusively for the passage of Mercury yesterday. NASA made a live broadcast during the passage of Mercury. The Slooh YouTube channel also aired the passage of Mercury live. Watch Slooh’s live replay here. He published images of the moments when Mercury passed in front of the Sun in NASA. Here you can see the images of the Mercury transition published by NASA.
