| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:23 am Mon, Nov 11 | Transit ongoing during sunrise Mercury Transit is already ongoing during sunrise in Los Angeles. 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° | 0.1° | |
| 7:09 am Mon, Nov 11 | Nearest Sun's center Mercury is closest to the center of the Sun as seen from Los Angeles. Sun close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 117° | 8.4° | |
| 9:43 am Mon, Nov 11 | 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. | 147° | 31.9° | |
| 9:45 am Mon, Nov 11 | Partial Transit ends Mercury leaves the Sun's edge and concludes the transit. | 148° | 32.1° |
How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The animation shows what the 2019 Mercury Transit approximately looked like from Los Angeles. The curvature of the planet's path is due to the Earth's rotation.
