Re: [APML] Mercury Transit

[Christopher Go <christone@pacific.net.ph>]

You bet. I have been listening to this kind of comment the whole 5 
hours.  Most people think we were crazy to be under a 40C sun and getting 
sunburn for a tiny little dot.  Many were expecting to see features of 
Mercury because  Mercury was suppose to be closest to the earth during that 
time.  I had to explain to them that we can only see mercury's 
shadow.  They would exclaim, "and your out here for that?"

Regards,

Chris
