For those interested, here's a little heads-up for an event that will not re-occur for over 100 years.
Today at 22:04 GMT, Venus will pass between the Earth and the sun and Venus will be visible as a black dot against the surface of the sun. How exciting!! :p The event will last until 04:52 GMT.
Remember, don't look directly at the sun without equipment that is certified as safe to do so!
The most basic way of seeing this is to use ye olde camera obscura-type methods of viewing. Easiest way: 2 pieces of paper. Small hole in the higher one and adjust distance between to focus the image on to the lower piece of paper.
Several video feeds are available at sloosh.

I did want to see this, but I wasn't sure when the best time of day would be to look for it. And I thought since it's been so overcast lately it would be hard to see anyway. I'll check out the websites, thanks for posting.
Damn, I'll have to wait for the next one.SunSan wrote:I watched it on CNN yesterday. Or doesn't that count?

We're talking about Season 2.
