| 8:53 am Mon, Nov 11 | Transit ongoing during sunrise Mercury Transit is already ongoing during sunrise in Whitehorse.

| 8:56 am Mon, Nov 11 | Nearest Sun's center Mercury is closest to the center of the Sun as seen from Whitehorse. Since the Sun is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to Southeast for the best view of the transit. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 126° | 0.1° | |
| 10:03 am Mon, Nov 11 | Full Transit ends Mercury is starting to leave the Sun's edge. Watch out for the black drop effect, an optical illusion seemingly connecting Mercury's disc to the Sun's edge. Sun close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southeast. | 141° | 5.5° | |
| 10:04 am Mon, Nov 11 | Partial Transit ends Mercury leaves the Sun's edge and concludes the transit. Sun close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southeast. | 142° | 5.7° |
