Transit of Venus - June 2012

[ffutures]

Venus will be visible transiting the sun on June 5th-6th – if I’ve read the chart right it will only be visible from the UK in the early morning and the transit will have already started at sunrise.

Looks like there’s some useful material including charts, iphone apps, etc.

The icon is some pictures I took of the 2004 transit. It was processed in various ways to make the moving dot clearer, the final picture of the four was slightly crooked since I was hand-holding the camera.

Thanks for the info.

The crooked one actually makes the animation quite sweet - Venus decides to stop orbiting and take a short cut? :-)
