About This Design

Transit of Mercury Postcard

Transit of Mercury Postcard

A black and yellow fractal depiction of the Sun and the planet Mercury. Add your own text. When the planet Mercury passes between the Sun and the Earth it appears a small black dot on the Sun. This is called a "Transit of Mercury." Transits of Mercury with respect to Earth are much more frequent than transits of Venus, with about 13 or 14 per century, in part because Mercury is closer to the Sun and orbits it more rapidly. Transits of Mercury can happen in May or November. November transits occur at intervals of 7, 13, or 33 years. May transits only occur at intervals of 13 or 33 years. This image is a fractal impression of such a transit.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
