That tiny “dot” isn’t a flaw.
It’s Mercury crossing the face of the Sun.
During a transit, Mercury passes directly between Earth and the Sun, appearing as a small dark spot against the Sun’s surface. Even though Mercury is a planet, the Sun is so massive that it makes entire worlds look like specks.
Moments like this put the scale of our solar system into perspective.
