It did today, starting about 11:12 AM, and it'll be finishing in just a few minutes.
I've had my telescopes and cameras on it all day, until it went behind a tree (I'll miss the end) :(

Thank you very much for the link you gave. I read this news yesterday night on Yahoo. I have forgotten about this until you have remind me. Thank you again.
Is there any other way for us to view it other than using a telescope? I don't have a telescope.

Hm, well from my viewpoint at sunset by the highway, I not only saw a Mercury pass in front of the sun, I also saw a Ford, Chevy, and a Dodge as well!

My husband, the astronomy/science enthusiast, set up binoculars to focus the sun on a white panel, and we watched the dot go across. It was a pretty great way to show it to our daughter.

Yes, I did. My Chemistry teacher showed me this morning {He teaches Physics as well}. (I'm in Australia, so to me it was about 8:30am)

Nice photos - thanks for sharing. We didn't see it in Europe - maybe 2016.
