Venus Transit

[bµbbler]

So today venus started going across the sun at 6pm. My father and I got our telescope out with our sun filter, and we saw it. It was breathtaking.
Here's a picture I took:


Venus only goes across the sun every 112(ish) years.

[Comatose]

I didn't see it.

Oh well.

[carolcat]

venus is trying to eclipse the sun
the little planet who couldn't

[Mr. Jelly]

I didn't see it.

Oh well.

If you live in certain parts of the world you can see it tomorrow

[Muffin]

Wow, If it looks like that on a picture, I bet it looked a hell of a lot better in person

[bµbbler]

It depends on your region

[Menen]

[fred da kiko]

Damn, I can't see it.

[Night Fox]

[bµbbler]

that's breathtaking?

well I have a pretty big passion for astronomy, so yeah it was

[Otis Da HousKat]

I heard about this but figured staring at the sun for an extended period of time was not a very good idea. I had nothing to block it out.

[Night Fox]

well I have a pretty big passion for astronomy, so yeah it was

well, space is cool and all, but that's probably one of the least impressive things I've seen
maybe the idea of it's neat, or that it happened while you were alive, given the rarity of it, but it's not a very breathtaking sight

[Sheath]

Don't have any way to look at it. :c

[Morpheus]

Don't have any way to look at it. :c
