near miss
The gold line is the north limit: along it Mercury grazes the Moon's northern edge. North of the line it is a near miss — from Auckland, NZ Mercury passes just 3.4′ outside the limb — and a graze seen from right on the line, Mercury blinking in and out behind lunar mountains, is the finest view of all. The solid line is traced against the real lunar limb — LRO LOLA terrain, the mountains and valleys that are on the edge for this libration — and sits -8.2 to +4.2 km from the mean-sphere line (dotted).
The violet shading is where the Sun has set by the time of the event, so the reappearance happens in a darkening sky.

At the Moon's edge
Mercury's path across the Moon from your location — north up, east to the left as in binoculars. Times here are computed in your browser from the same ephemeris as the table, to the same ±2 s. Drag the slider to move it along its track.
Advanced · graze profile against the real lunar limb
For graze chasers. The lunar limb as it really is for your libration — LRO LOLA terrain, in km above and below the mean sphere — with Mercury's track drawn across it six minutes either side of each contact. Where the track dips below the terrain, Mercury is hidden; near a graze it blinks behind peaks.
City by city
Times are against the real lunar limb (LRO LOLA terrain at each city's own libration). Disappears is the moment Mercury is fully hidden (its disc takes from the earlier time to slide in); reappears is when the first sliver returns. Where to look is the Moon's height above the horizon (0° is the horizon, 90° straight up) and compass direction at that moment, and whether the Sun is still up.

How to watch
Method & accuracy
Positions from the JPL DE431 ephemeris (Skyfield), ΔT = 69.1 s. The city table's contact times and the solid limit line use the real lunar limb — the silhouette of LRO LOLA terrain (LDEM_64, ~0.5 km) at each observer's own libration — so they carry the mountains and valleys that a mean sphere misses (up to a few seconds at ordinary contacts, tens of seconds near a graze). The any-location solver in your browser and the shaded region still use the mean sphere of 1737.4 km (±2 s). Mercury's own disc (8″ across) is included: partial contacts are the from/to times.
