Wonder if the McMath–Pierce solar telescope at Kitts Peak (AZ) will be looking and showing? Sunrise there is at about 9am EST and would take a bit longer than that for proper angle of viewing.

In any case, the views being shown show just how big the sun is. As Mercury is 38% of the diameter of Earth, if the viewpoint was from Mars and of an Earth transit, that small spot would only be three times larger!

Thanks. That Mercury is one God-forsaken flame-scorched rock. I’ll stick with the big blue marble.
