Venus To Stroll Across the Sun

A mini-eclipse of sorts will happen Tuesday when the planet Venus crosses betwwen the sun and the Earth.  The event, called a transit of Venus, will occur late in the daylight hours of Tuesday in the United States and take about seven hours to complete. Some of the best and longest views will be in the South Pacific, so start heading for Tahiti now. During the transit, Venus will appear as a tiny dark speck crossing the disc of the sun, from left to right. But remember: It's always dangerous to look directly at the sun. Use the same precautions you would with a solar eclipse: special light filters, a welder's mask or a pinhole viewer. If you're interested, you'd better get out there and look - it won't happen again for 105 years. Don't miss it cuz we will never see it again. Only our childrens children will see it next!!
