This looks awesome.

Here is a video of #VenusTransit  as Venus enters the Solar Disc: Venus Enters the Solar Disk

I saw a cooler one on a live stream, but can't find a permanent link. But here is a live-stream of the whole event:

Luckily someone at work actually set up a telescope so I got to look at the real thing. Pretty cool (in some sense... also pretty boring in another :))

Shot of #VenusTransit this afternoon. #venustransit2012  Taken through a 105mm Meade ETX with a solar filter and a Nikon Coolpix camera I got cheap as a deal of the day at Amazon. Not too bad for pointing the camera lens at the eyepiece and hoping for a decent shot.

Not watching the #VenusTransit, as it's not 1848. #NASA has better equipment. I'll catch it on Youtube.

2016's transit of Mercury, here I come
