November 11, 2019- Transit of Mercury
The small disk of Mercury will pass in front of the sun on November 11. The entire country except for parts of Alaska will be able to see at least part of this event. Here is a map of the visibility from the lower 48 states. The transit begins at around 12:36 UTC, mid transit is at 15:19 UTC, and the transit ends at around 18:03 UTC. You will need magnification to see the transit. (Either a telescope projection or a telescope or binoculars with solar filters)

This is an animation of what the transit will look like from the United States. If you live in the western two-thirds of the country, the sun will rise at some point during the Transit. The path that Mercury appears to take across the sun may be slightly different depending on where you are in the country. You may want to make the video full screen to get a better view.
Here is an image that I captured from the 2016 transit of Mercury using 50x magnitude telescope projection while the transit was ending-
This eclipse will be fully visible from All 50 states. The moon will be slightly dimmer at maximum eclipse. The eclipse begins at 07:32 UT, greatest eclipse is at 09:42 UT, and the eclipse ends at 11:53 UT.
