Venus Transit

I hope everyone kept their eclipse glasses and viewers because today is another great chance to use them. All this afternoon Venus will be making a transit of the sun. This means that Venus will pass between the Earth and the Sun at just the right position for us to see it in front of the sun. You need special glasses or a viewer to see the transit, remember that it is never safe to look directly at the sun. The best time to see the transit will be between 5:00 and 7:00 tonight with Venus nearest to the center of the sun at about 5:30. Take your glasses, get out there, and check it out!
