Considering that Mercury is tiny I find that hard to picture somehow.

But willing to be corrected.

you know what I mean, it's mercury in front of the sun. If mercury was being eclipsed then it'd be behind something. And it's not. It's in front. As we speak, I believe. It's quite titchy I admit.

Looks like a speck of dust on the camera lens to me.
