Scientific paper

The planet Mercury crosses the face of the Sun thirteen or fourteen times a century, and this year's transit was the first to be visible from the British Isles since 1973 November 10, when most observers were clouded out. It occurred at Mercury's descending node with the planet crossing the northern part of the Sun's photosphere. In the British Isles the transit was visible in its entirety from 05h 00m UT until 10h 33m, the least distance of centres (11?42") occurring at 07h 52m, and it was widely seen, the weather conditions being generally favourable.
