Transit of Venus TODAY Information!

[T. Brown 1st MRB]

Transit of Venus TODAY. For those who didn't get solar filters/glasses, here's some sites to help you out:

NASA Live Coverage @ 5:45 edt

Countdown plus what to expect

Reflected Pinhole Method

Pinhole Projector (note: longer the box, bigger the image; needs to be at least 6' long to get a good view of tiny little Venus)

Binocular Set-up

Image of Sun updated every 15 mins

Good luck! Take pictures! This will be the only time in our lifetimes to see this, more rare than Halley's comet (which is every 75/76 years).

Very cool, I got to see the solar eclipse last month and now I get to see the transit of Venus? What a solarific year!

Going to see this with the family, my father is a huge astronomy nut... just got his masters in it so here goes nothing.

SO happy I got to see it! Couldn't get my lens filters working properly so no pics, but at least when I'm all senescent and senile and yelling at kids to get off my lawn, I can say "I SAW VENUS TRANSIT THE SUN BITCHES, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR LIFE?!"

It rained the whole time... But I got to see it via NASA

I don't want to seem rude, but was that all you saw was a black dot going across the sun?
