Is anyone else excited about this? The 2012 Transit of Venus - NASA Science If anyone is equipted to take good photos I would appreciate it if I could get an emailed image. Thanks.
I will be out looking - The transit is at sunset for my location - I hope it is not cloudy (I use a number 14welders glass to view). You could download a photo from NASA and get it printed at Costco or Snapfish.
My understanding is that the best viewing time within the USA will be around sunset. Too much cloud cover in my neighborhood.
Well, I couldn't see the sunset for the trees, so I guess this means I shall have to figure out how to live to the age of 155 to see the Transit of Venus.
What a great article! Too bad I was a day late but I'm sure there will be tons of footage online. Couldn't agree more with the following quoted from the article..."2012 should be even better as cameras and solar telescopes have improved. Moreover, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory is going to be watching too. SDO will produce Hubble-quality images of this rare event."
OK, this photo has some coolness. http://www.danilopivato.com/photo/solar_system/transit/Venus/03h29m23sU.T..jpg
