Mercury passes through the face of the Sun.

-
Mercury has made a rare transit, and Mercury appears to be moving across the face of the Sun as seen from Earth.

During the transit, Mercury appeared as a dark silhouette disk against the bright surface of our star. There have been 14 transitions in this century; The last time this happened was in 2016, but the next event will not happen until 2032. The transition began at 12:35 GMT, when the curve of the Sun touched the edge of Mercury. It ended at GMT 18:04. Then the boundary of the planet seemed to emerge from the disk of the sun.

Professor Mike Cruise, president of the Royal Astronomical Society of the United Kingdom (RAS), said: “This is a rare event and we will have to wait 13 years for it to happen again. This transit is a clear illustration of how planets orbit the Sun.


The entire event was seen in the eastern United States and Canada, the southwestern tip of Greenland, the Caribbean, Central America, all of South America, and some West Africa.

Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System
In much of the United States and Canada and New Zealand, the transition was taking place at sunrise. Observers in East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, and Australia could not see the transition.

We all hope that in 2020 Apple will launch an iPhone with 5G technology. We do not know much about it and I am writing this post to know something about it. Apple expects to launch its first 5G phone by 2020. & nbsp; Analysts have not yet negotiated a price for this and we cannot expect this to be cheap. If you're used to reading Apple News, you probably know the name "Ming-Chi-Kuo". He is one of the analysts mentioned earlier. According to Kuo, the price of an Apple 5G chipset could go up by 35%. But the retail price of the entire phone is not expected to go up. It will not be the only update as the design will have to be slightly modified to suit 5G technology - which means that the 5G iPhone is very different from previous Apple phones. According to Kuo's analysis, the metal frame of the device will cost 50% -60% more to build and the glass plate will cost 40% -50% more. The iPhone 11 will cost $ 699 / 729 /AU $ 1,199, while the next i...
