Venus Transit of 2012
Approximately every 130 years, our sister planet Venus gives us a pair of transits across the face of the Sun. I was fortunate enough to witness the last crossing of the 21st century.
Can you Venus? It is the dark spot near the 2 o'clock position. Zoom in and you can also see several sunspot clusters.
The next Venus Transit is December 2117, in 94 years.
