Important Information.



This page is a temporary page just for the duration of the event. If there is server overload then it may move to a new address without warning. Do not bookmark this page. Do not publicise this page. It may not be here when you return. Instead, please refer all traffic only to the main http://home.freeuk.net/dgstrange/transit.mercury.2003/ site.

All of the sites with images contain exactly the same set of images. They are posted to several servers to try to prevent overload with too many people trying to all look at the same time on just one server. These pages automatically refresh and so will pick up each new image as it is posted.

Warning: You will go blind in a fraction of a second if you look at the Sun through binoculars or a telescope. The only safe way is to project the image onto a piece of card.



Linking to the site.



Why not link to the transit site? Add a line of code somewhere on your site, perhaps something like:
