Grandpa$, Pluto did not stop being existing.... :) That didn't say it was a list of "official" planets.

Anyway, an image someone made of Mercury's transit past the Sun on Monday.

And based on a past post, somebody ain't gonna get this....... :)

Yes, yes, I get it. Give his name and I know who you're talking about, it's just his face I didn't get. Tell me "George Gassaway" and I'll know whom you're talking about, but I surely wouldn't know your face either.
 
OUCH!!! I use an old school 8" Celestron, I'm paranoid as anything about where it's pointed when I take the lens cap off. I try to make sure it's pointed about 180 degrees away while I put the solar filter on. Things could get real hot, real quick. I'm really sorry to hear about your mishap. I've been real close to making that mistake a few times myself. As it was, I missed the transit of Mercury due to overcast and snowy conditions.

That image was XKCD from yesterday. He was making a "no filters" joke. :) https://xkcd.com/2227/
