The Transit of Venus

    I think this event may be of interest of some mapcoreans, so:

    Watch it right now or you'll miss this unique event. You may watch it again, but only if you remain alive in year 2117.

    Live streaming from NASA:

    "the planet Venus will appear to pass in front of the Sun as seen from the surface of the Earth. This phenomenon, called a transit of Venus, happens only a few times in 250 years. The next one will be in 2117 AD"

    I watched it. Unfortunately for me, the Earth was also transiting the sun at the same time.

    I did get to see the transit 8 years ago though and I see Venus a lot day to day so I'm not too fussed

    Some people still don't believe me when I say the brightest star in the sky is actually venus, not a star. Some people are duuuuh.

    Me and Venus are Bros, but I prefer Jupiter, has all the moons he has all the moons.

    i watched by stacking 4 polarised 3D movie glasses on top of each other =). Really cool to see venus as a small round dot on the surface of the sun! A dot that's almost as big as the earth O__O

    that's one big dot bro

    FUCK! Great photo /\
