Published on May 10, 2016
Skywatchers across the globe have enjoyed an opportunity to see Mercury transit the Sun.
Mercury's sojourn between Earth and our star lasted from 11:12 until 18:42 GMT.
It was the third such pass of 14 this century; Mercury will not make another transit until 2019 and then 2032.
