to all people who have answered before me, please read.
Mecury may transit the sun, but it is still invisible to the naked eye. If you reflet the sun's image through a hole in a pirce of paper, you still won't see it. Mercury is tiny and only special wavelength photographs will show a tiny speck. With the sun's brightness, the naked eye cannot see it.
Venus transits the sun very rarely if ever. the last transit was last year. It probably won't transit the sun for a very lnog time.
If you saw something, it might have been something closer to home... like a sattilite orbiting earth or a helicopter..

May have been Mercury. It all depends at what time of day you were looking at the sun and where you are. There are safer ways to look at the sun, you might want to try them before you go blind.

I'm not sure which planet you might have seen, but it would have to be either Venus or Mercury. The moon is doubtful because I don't think it rises until after dark right now.

you're sixty 8% organic you're enormously organic, and you haven't any longer any plans on changing that. You do have a devilish area however... and it will in all hazard get the extra effective of you. solar ~ Scorpio Moon ~ Gemini Venus ~ Sagittarius

HIDE the Sun with something (tree trunk, building) before looking at stuff in it's vicinity.
You can see Venus or the moon, barely.

The lens cap? JK....I don't know - there was a meteor sighted yesterday in VIC and SA that was apparently quite spectacular by all accounts though........I don't think any visibility from Qld.
