Tomorrow Tuesday, June 5th beginning at 3:09 pm PST, the planet Venus will travel across the face of the sun, a process called a transit. It is a fairly rare phenomenon and won’t happen again for 105 years. So there you have it, the chance of a lifetime. DO NOT stare into the sun without a #14 welder’s glass. Or you can punch a pinhole in a sheet of paper to make a pinhole camera and observe the sun’s projection.
Awesome!!!We sure won't see it here in Maritime Canada!!! HEAVY clouds that will persist for at least another day..have to catch it next time around I guess....giggle......Great presentation, Patrick!!!

Even the serious side of Patrick has a bit of whimsy!

Actually they come in pairs 8 years apart every 121 yrs. The science withstanding, once again the chance to see nature in all its splendor geometrically speaking will be worth the wait, like watching for Halley's comet I'd say, which I saw and describe it as a dirty snowball.
Thanks Patrick for sharing and reigniting my childhood memories one more time.
THANKS PATRICK, MAYBE I WILL...I MEAN, NOT SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE OF OBSERVING BUT YOUR PROMOTION OF THE EVENT IS JUST LOVELY. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
