Well it doesn't transit from our point of view, so yes, I think he can say that as the observer.
"In astronomy, a transit or astronomical transit is the phenomenon of at least one celestial body appearing to move across the face of another celestial body, hiding a small part of it, as seen by an observer at some particular vantage point."[0]

- eggpy 9y agoI understand that. I guess I don't know how small we can reliably view transits. We can certainly see large planet transits. Perhaps planets of this size are too small to view at this distance/ with this star type with our current technology. Just because we haven't observed a transit doesn't mean the transit isn't happening. But again, I don't really know this specific circumstance.
