Transit Memes

Behold! The elusive Mercury transit across the Moon—a tiny dot that's basically playing cosmic hide-and-seek! The joke here is that Mercury transits are actually observed crossing the Sun, not the Moon. What you're seeing is just a random speck or image artifact that someone hilariously labeled as Mercury. It's like finding Waldo if Waldo was a planetary body and completely in the wrong place! Astronomers everywhere are either crying or cackling right now. That red arrow pointing dramatically at nothing is the cherry on top of this astronomical bamboozle!
