Time	Event	Direction	Altitude
11:35 am Mon, Nov 11	Partial Transit begins Mercury touches the Sun's edge. Sun close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to South.	171°	2.2°
11:37 am Mon, Nov 11	Full Transit begins Mercury is fully within 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 South.	171°	2.2°
2:10 pm Mon, Nov 11	Nearest Sun's center Mercury is closest to the center of the Sun as seen from Ittoqqortoormiit. 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 South-southwest 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.	208°	0.2°
2:16 pm Mon, Nov 11	Transit ongoing during sunset Mercury Transit is already ongoing during sunset in Ittoqqortoormiit. 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 South-southwest for the best view of the transit.	209°	-0.0°
