Student Observatory, Stadium Garage, T Street and Stadium Blvd. Observers are reminded to never look directly at the sun during a solar event. You should never try to look at the sun through a telescope or any optical device.
Instant blindness can result.
The last time such a transit was visible from Nebraska was 1973. During Monday's transit, Mercury will be visible on the screen as a tiny black dot near the edge of the sun. Solar activity is currently increasing so several sunspots will also probably be visible. The university's student observatory is located atop the parking garage across from Memorial Stadium, on the corner of T Street and Stadium Boulevard. The observatory will not be open if the sky is completely overcast.
