In astronomy, planetary transits and occultations occur when a planet passes in front of another object, as seen by an observer.The occulted object may be a distant star, but in rare cases it may be another planet, in which case the event is called a mutual planetary occultation or mutual planetary transit, depending on the relative apparent diameters of the objects.
In astronomy, a transit (or astronomical transit) is the passage of a celestial body directly between a larger body and the observer. As viewed from a particular vantage point, the transiting body appears to move across the face of the larger body, covering a small portion of it.

On Sept. 7, while transiting the final degrees of courageous Leo, Mercury will square off with Uranus for a second time this year. Before we dive into the potential effects of this disruptive ...
It showed that the peculiarities in Mercury's orbit were the results of the curvature of spacetime caused by the mass of the Sun. [27] This added a predicted 0.1 arc-second advance of Mercury's perihelion each orbital revolution, or 43 arc-seconds per century, exactly the observed amount (without any recourse to the existence of a hypothetical ...

Mercury opposite Saturn can trigger feelings of self-doubt and restriction, according to astrologer Valerie Mesa. ... With Mercury transiting your 12th house of unconscious patterns, you may feel ...
An animation explaining why the planet Mercury may appear to move "backwards", or retrograde across Earth's sky. Apparent retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet in a direction opposite to that of other bodies within its system, as observed from a particular vantage point.
