VENUS TRANSIT: On June 8th, for the first time since 1882, Venus will pass

directly between Earth and the Sun. The planet's black silhouette will be

visible from Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe and eastern parts of the

Americas. Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips and links to live

webcasts from around the world.

SPACE STATION TRANSIT: Transits of Venus are rare, but this is

unprecedented: The International Space Station (ISS) is going to cross the

Sun four times during the 6+ hour transit of Venus on June 8th. Advanced

observers in parts of Europe, Africa and Asia might be able to record the

double transit. Get the details at Spaceweather.com.

Yeah but will we be able to see it through the dust cloud that's supposed to reach earth on the 8th or 9th?

That's pretty weird.

G'day TD,

It's been all over the news here this evening. It just looks like a very small bit of black crap in a round bit of orange tint

We had a beautiful day for observing as there was not a cloud in the sky. The astonomers were beside themselves with glee.
