Grazing transits of Mercury

[ricci]

In very rare occasions Mercury transits on the Sun with only a part of its disk or rather the least separation between the centers of the two bodies it is slightly superior in comparison to the solar radius.
The last event is happened on November 15th 1999, but for the next we must attend six centuries.
