THE TRANSIT OF MERCURY - ANIMATION

 

This animation allows to observe many solar phenomenons during the 5h20mn of the transit:
- the rotation of the solar disk from east to west
- the fading of the large prominence at the end of the transit
- the continuous flow of matter in the dark filaments visible on the disk
- a strong and quick flare in an active group (bottom right)
- an elusive prominence in arch at the limb from the next active group

(downloading the animation on the hard disk and displaying it locally can avoid a possible slowing down)
