A rather rare cosmic coincidence, and one that was of great scientific importance in the past, since the anomalies of Mercury's orbit around the sun were the first piece of evidence which gave us the Theory of General Relativity.
IMPORTANT:
Mercury will not be visible without magnification.
Do not look into the sun with anything other than professional sun observing equipment.
Don't use solar eclipse glasses and hold binoculars in front of it!!! Filters always first, in front of the optics!
