Mercury crossing the Sun today

http://www.space.com/spacewatch/061103_night_sky.html

Mercury is currently passing between the Earth and the Sun right now. You can see it in the sky using special optic lenses. I wouldn't try to stare into the Sun.

i am quite interested in it as you can see in my profile. i would have liked to see mercury but damn! my telescopes lens is lost!

Aren't new lenses only like 16 bucks? My telescope lens broke too, and I got one for 16 USD.

yeah write, they are, but mercury would not wait for me and ask me to go and get the lens.

On the topic of a planet, just how small is earth compared to the rest of the planets and the sun? See it here.

earth is bigger than mars and i gave answer to dexeroni about my telescope.
i dont quite understand what are you saying?
