Venus Transit

Today Venus is trying to be the Moon and cover the Sun but it's too far away and their difference in size cannot stay unnoticed. However, this is the last time this happens till 2117 so I felt the need to see it. After all I don't think I'll be able to wait a century for a next one. I almost didn't make it as today was a pretty cloudy day. Certainly, worse then the eclipse. Luckily, Venus transit takes much longer - about 7 hours - so I just waited for the sun to come out. And it did.


If you want to see it too it's visible from most of the globe (sorry, west Africa and most of the South America - congratulations to East Asia you get the whole thing) and if you are further west (where the sun hasn't set yet) or somewhere east (where the sunrise already happened or will happen soon) and there aren't too many clouds you just need something that will protect your eyes. Or you can go online.
