Mercury Transit from TRACE (White Light)

Instrument:

TRACE

Description:
|
|
Movie of Mercury passing across the disk of the Sun. Duration: 6.0 seconds
|
|
Abstract:
|
|
This is a view of the planet Mercury (a black dot) as seen by TRACE through its white light optical telescope. Because the TRACE field-of-view is much smaller than the solar disk, the spacecraft is repointed three times during the transit (creating the position jumps of the movie). This movie was generated from telemetry which has undergone a minimum of processing (to deliver quickly for the media) so data dropouts and other quick-processing artifacts may be visible. Special thanks to Dawn Myers of the TRACE project for this effort.
