In Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon, I learned that the pair first worked together recording the Transit of 1761. From Wikipedia: In 1761, Mason was assigned to travel to the island of Sumatra to observe the transit of Venus as part of an international effort to record data that would enable scientists to determine the distance from the Earth to the Sun. Mason was joined by Jeremiah Dixon, a surveyor and amateur astronomer from Cockfield in the County of Durham. Owing to an attack by a French man-of-war, they did not reach their destination in time for the transit and were forced to record their observations from the Cape of Good Hope. On the way back from the Cape they visited St Helena where they made a series of observations with the astronomer Nevil Maskelyne. They did some stuff in the US later.

I'm on/off (it's very time consuming and tedious) working on my own time lapse animation of the mercury transit I shot in the past year.

Just found this. From one of my favorite albums, The Noise Made By People. Before COVID, there was SARS, and it killed Trish.
