Abstract	The planet Mercury transited the face of the Sun in a rare spectacle on 11 November 2019. It was an awe-inspiring moment for 300 students from Kwabenya Community High School and Ghana Atomic Energy Commission Basic School in Ghana to see this wonder of the cosmos. Celestron Power Seeker 60 mm diameter telescopes were used to project the Sun's image on a white card on the ground to observe safely. It was a time for the kids to relate the theory of eclipse and transits to a practical life experience. This was an avenue to introduce astronomy to the kids. (As Provided).
