Anyone here watched Venus Transit

  #-Link-Snipped-# That indeed is a great shot. 👍
  
  Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena.
  They occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years.

  I missed this great chance. I don't have proper glasses to see. But my family enjoyed the moment 😀

  I have Canon SX40 with 35x zoom and shot it just after sunrise arround 6am so there was no harm to watch directly to sun😀

  I didn't even bother to look.
  
  Some years ago, a friend had his fairly large telescope set up and was showing us Mars. I thoroughly enjoyed Kim Stanley Robinson's Amazon.com and two of Ben Bova's Amazon.com books (grief! I just realized he has #-Link-Snipped-# one). And I followed NASA's Spirit and Opportunity with great interest. But when it came to seeing the actual planet with my own eyes, I was struck with how boring I found it.
  
  So I've decided I'm strictly an armchair astronomer.

  But you're picture looks like it would make very nice computer wallpaper.

  Guys, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, is the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the sun.
  SDO is used to provide images with resolution 8 times better than high-definition television and returns more than a terabyte of data each day.
  
  On June 5 2012, SDO collected images of the rarest predictable solar event--the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. The videos and images displayed here are constructed from several wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light and a portion of the visible spectrum. just check this out -
