Planet Venus will transit the sun today starting about 1800 hours local time here in NYC USA; of course the time and visibility will vary on your location… Here’s a link for more data: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/transit12.html

Here’s a link to making a simple sun viewer: http://www.scholastic.com/browse/subarticle.jsp?id=2265

If you miss this one the next Venus transit will occur in 2117.

It was clear for most of the afternoon here but now it is cloudy again, looks like I’m going to have to catch it next time.

Viewing it right now in metro NYC thru the occasional clouds. Very cool. Kids Adam 7 and Emmi 10 think it’s cool too. Kid Ava 13 and wife can’t be bothered.
Wish I was wearing one of my star trek costumes just to complete the nerd image.
