Sorry... I forgot to put the date of the transit in the first message!
It will be on Wednesday November 8.

Hello all,

I just wanted to remind everyone that because of the time change
this past weekend all of the public viewing nights will move to
7-9 p.m.

Also, I wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming Mercury transit.
Some of you have probably already heard about it, but I thought I would
pass on a link for more information:
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/transit06.html

If you choose to observe the transit, make sure you use the proper
techniques or equipment for safely viewing the sun! We will have our solar
telescope (which projects an image) open for anyone who is interested.
We will have it open from approx. 1 to 5 p.m. (or whenever the sun
dips below the fence line on the 14th floor roof). Stop by RLM 13.132
if you want to see it!

Cheers,
Lara Eakins
