Apparently it transited the solar disc earlier today, but the narrow strip of the path was over the Pacific - it then crossed S America but I don't think observatory resources were able to be activated in time. Moot point whether it would have been visible in anything other than the highest resolution imaging because of its very small angular size. However it has galvanised a fair bit of interest, particularly in setting up alerts & responses for any future events like this.

Cheers -
