Venus 'Transit'

Recommended Posts

About 5:45PM EST today, the planet Venus will pass between the Earth and the Sun. It last happened in 2004 and won't happen again until 2117.

 

NASA is supposed to have a live webcast for those that don't have 'solar eyeglasses' or welder's lenses available to them.

 

The NASA channel on DTV is talking about it now.

 

EDIT: You can also see it live at this link: Linky

 

EDIT 2: I could see it looking through two #10 glass filter plates. It's just in front of the disk of the sun at ~1 o'clock position.
