Mercury's transit at Garching
The ESO Photo Ambassador Petr Horálek captured this image on 9 May 2016, the Mercury's transit day. The little black dot visible in the lower part of the orange Sun disc is indeed the planet while orbiting between the Earth and the Sun. This stunning picture was taken in the surroundings of ESO's Headquarters, located at Garching, near Munich, in Germany.
