| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7:08 am Sat, Nov 7 | Transit ongoing during sunrise Mercury Transit is already ongoing during sunrise in Columbus. 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 East-southeast for the best view of the transit. |  110° | 0.0° | |
| 7:10 am Sat, Nov 7 | Nearest Sun's center Mercury is closest to the center of the Sun as seen from Columbus. 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 East-southeast for the best view of the transit. | 111° | 0.3° | |
| 9:07 am Sat, Nov 7 | 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. | 132° | 18.9° | |

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The animation shows what the 1914 Mercury Transit approximately looked like from Columbus. The curvature of the planet's path is due to the Earth's rotation.
