Transit of Venus ...Tuesday, June 5th!

Molly Hall About.com

Venus moves in front of the Sun tomorrow (Tuesday)! It's an astronomical wow that won't be happening again until 2117! At NASA's Transit of Venus site, live coverage starts at 9:45 pm UTC/London and 5:45 pm EDT from Mauna Kea Hawaii (local time in Hawaii is 11:45 am). The transit lasts six hours. Just like with the last two eclipses, the Pacific areas, eastern Asia and the west coast of the US are the best viewing locales!

Transit of Venus.org is a treasure of info, from how to see it without scorching your eyes, to past transits (1639, "A Most Agreeable Spectacle"/1761 & 1769/1874 & 1872/2004). The Transit of Venus has inspired the arts in each century. That creator of patriotic marches, John Philip Sousa composed a Transit of Venus march, which was revived in 2004 in venues around.

I was one of the lucky people who got to view it right from my driveway with my solar eclipse glasses, and it was a view to take your breathe away, it does something to you, I don't understand how or why no one on my street was outside looking at this. Is it that they have completely ignored the movement of things around them and can only see as far as their own nose? I had to explain to others what was happening, and its like they can't come to the basis to even understand the magnitude of it all. Are they afraid?

Oh and what are the effects on the body due to this movement, like i had a sore throat for some reason before going to bed and then I am having feelings of tingle like sensations on my hands and arms... some pain in some spots.. O.O

I saw it too, it was pretty cool! I was bummed that I didn't have any eye-ware to see it with, but then our last patient came in with his welding mask and we were able to see it through that. Talk about the Universe providing... ask (or think it for that matter) and you shall receive!
