Transit of Venus Tonight!



It won't happen again until 2017!

Starting at 6:03pm tonight, if the weather cooperates, the transit of Venus across the Sun's surface should be visible... Please enjoy, BUT protect your eyes! Students are coming home tonight with directions on how to create a pinhole projector.

Here's a link to an ABC video clip about the last transit in 2004.

You can watch online at Slooh.

Some great short documentaries about the transits importance from NASA
