And a lot of us are going to call in sick that day...like me. "I got

Matthew,
.....and if it clouds up just as the transit starts you probably really
will be sick...... :)
BTW, What's the "word" on planetariums and museums putting out scopes for
the public to see this event?

For NYC Events, coming up late next week for November, I'll
include what ever transit watches are announced by then. I already
have a banner paragraph alerting to the transit and advising readers
to check with their local astronomy center.

Nah, you got the last one in 2003. And the Venus transit in 2004. You can
wait your turn now.

What? There's no land out there beyond the Azores. It's clear ocean
all the way to China. You'll never make it alive.

With any weather luck this will be the third for me, each on a different
continent. The first was North America, the second Europe and this one
Asia. Just have to get lucky with business travel.

No good. 'I got an overdoes of mercury in my eyes'.

The final sentence says it all -
"What will it look like? A picture is worth a thousand words:"
The faster orbital motion of Mercury in an inner orbital circuit
overtaking the Earth thereby affirming the heliocentric orbital motion
of the planets.
As I am the only heliocentrist here,in addition to the transit of the
orbital motion of Mercury passing before the orbitally moving Earth and
our parent star ,I can appreciate the faster Earth in an inner orbital
circuit overtaking the slower moving Jupiter and the further and slower
moving Saturn -
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0112/JuSa2000_tezel.gif
I no longer know if it it is out of incapacity or just being dull and
dismal that you deny humanity the great Copernican insight and how the
orbital motions and the arrangement of the planets around the Sun was
figured out but there is nothing difficult.
As you adhere to the awful Newtonian view *,it is unlikely that the
transit will be anything for you other than a celestial geometry event
with no value other than a fleeting optical spectacle.No sense of
history of astronomy,no sense of planetary orbital scale or the sheer
power of our parent star ,only the sound of the calendrically driven
clockwork system of the celestial sphere.
Not one of you are astronomers,an astronomers affirms that planetary
heliocentric orbital motions are seen directly from an orbitally moving
Earth and the transits are marginally second in importance to the
observed behavior of the outer planets in affirming this.Your kind
adhere to an unworkable Newtonian view -
"For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct, sometimes
stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun they are
always seen direct.." Newton
