| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:37 am Sat, Nov 6 | Partial Transit begins Mercury touches the Sun's edge. Since the Sun is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to East-southeast for the best view of the transit. |  106° | 0.3° | |
| 5:42 am Sat, Nov 6 | Full Transit begins Mercury is fully within the Sun's edge. Watch out for the black drop effect, an optical illusion seemingly connecting Mercury's disc to the Sun's edge. Sun close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 107° | 1.4° | |

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
