(Oh no! another post from cvj about buses and trains and the environment to make us all feel bad?! Scroll away, scroll away!)
No.
Just a reminder about the transit of Mercury today!
The innermost planet passes across the face of the sun, from our point of view. At USC the Physics Department’s Joe Vandiver will have a telescope set up on campus for you to sneak a peak, and I beleive that the solar telescope at the Griffith Observatory (see my earlier post) will have public viewing.
See Nasa’s website (from where I borrowed the above diagram) for more. It also shows you how much visibility you’ll have in your time zone (US-based map).

I do feel bad… the student astronomical society put up telescopes to watch the transit, and I missed it! Of course, I doubt it was that spectacular. 🙂
