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
