I had the best of intentions to get up this morning and watch the transit of Venus. Really I did. But, when I woke at 9:30 (after working until 1 this morning)… well… I missed an event that one of our friends called “the world’s second worst annular eclipse.” Fortunately I was able to get online and see the re-broadcasts of the events from Europe, Australia, and many other places where the transit happened later in the day (local time). Mark got up and caught a glimpse of it through the clouds that were gathering here (of course it’s clear NOW). That happens here in New England. Some great celestial event looms on the horizon and you can just about count on the weather to go wonky for at least part of the event. Never fails.
Anyway, in case YOU missed the transit, here are some links to online sites with images and videos: Transit sites. Browse to your heart’s content!
