Mercury transits the Sun

In the last pic, Mercury is the perfect circle at the bottom right.

Lets me know just how small we are.

So close, yet Mercury looks like a big sunspot!

It amazes me the pictures from space. Would love to see Earth transit the sun but that would mean I am somewhere out in space and I can't have a cigar on the spaceship!

Ever seen the "blue dot" pic from a space probe that was a billion or more miles out? Blows my mind every time I see it.
