The University of the Virgin Islands invites the public to join the physics faculty and students for the next Planetarium Day to view the upcoming Solar transit of Mercury. A Solar transit is a rare event, occurring only about 10 times per century; the next Solar transit of Mercury will not happen until 2032. During the transit, people will be able to see the shadow of the planet Mercury as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. The UVI mobile planetarium will be set up at the UVI library; faculty and students will be on hand to discuss the nature of planetary transits. No reservations are necessary, and participants may park directly at UVI’s library. Free admission.
