Storm Clarence Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 A one time showing. Did you build your viewer? A shoebox, a small piece of foil, a white post-it, and a pin will give you ring side seats to this event.Enjoy the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus Petrov Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Of course! I plan to be gliding across the sun this afternoon waving and blowing kisses at all my fans. *laughs (Yes, I have a viewer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 i just saw about this on the news apparently the best time to see it is sunrise since it's going to be more than a hundred years before this happens again i may well make the effort to be awake at sunrise to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynda Baran Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 If weather prevents good viewing you can see the event by going to NASA's website. Since the end of Shuttle flights, they have nothing better to do than put stuff up on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link with more information. Check the 'Where to see...' graphic toward the bottom of the page to see where it will be visible in your part of the world (weather permitting). http://www.space.com/15541-venus-transit-sun-2012-guide-infographic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyll Bergbahn Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I witnessed the entire June 2004 Transit of Venus as it was a gloriously sunny day here in Ireland and the entire transit was visible. The transits always occur in pairs eight years apart and this is the last one anyone alive today is likely to see (next one is in 2117). Unfortunately this time for me I'll have to get up at 4am or so as the Sun will rise with the transit near the end so I'll need a clear horizon and a lot of luck with the weather!
