Transit of Venus
Did you know that we have the opportunity to observe history? Venus transit day is here! The brightest planet, Venus, will pass right in front of the sun. You SHOULD NOT look directly at the sun. Here is a link to view the transit of Venus safely. Here is a link to see a live video feed with scientists speaking about this amazing event. You will not get a chance to see this again in your lifetime! The rare event will not happen again until December 11, 2117. How old will you be then?
