Rare Celestial Event today! Venus Transit

Tags:

6/5/2012

Today is the day of a rare celestial event that the Maya celebrated. The Venus Transit. This is where the planet Venus crosses between the planes of earth and the sun. It happens in pairs with eight years in between sightings. Today is the second pairing of this occurrence. In North America Venus Transit can be seen at sunset. In Europe, parts of Africa, and the Middle East Venus Transit will be seen at sunrise.

I am really looking forward to being able to view this amazing site as it won't occur again until 2117 and 2125. Unless you are planning on cryogenics, I suggest you find out where you can view this rare occurrence.
