They say you could see Venus crossing the sun yesterday

How could that be

I thought all planets orbited the sun

Did Venus come between us and the sun.
 
Venus crossed between us and the sun.

Think about that for 10 min or so.

The local Astrology Association was set up near my house with their $100,000 telescopes checking it out

Do you think Uranus had anything to do with itr?!?!?
 
Well feeling a little stupid today .
I thought Venus was farther from the sun than us
Makes perfect scenes
Sorry for the post

I was wondering what you were getting so excited about
 
I was able to see it with my 2 dollar solar glasses.

I wish I had a proper solar filter for my telescope so I could have had a better view.
 
Is it going on tonight too?

That kinda thing should stick around for a few days so everyone could have the chance to enjoy

Hey Flash, was that a get together of gypsies reading fortune?
Just kidding! :dblthumb2:
 
It was clouded over here, like it was for the solar eclipse a couple of weeks ago. :(
 
Nice and clear here in Southern California.

I took my Meade SCT 1080 to a friend's house with an unobstructed west view and set up the scope for all the neighborhood to look through. Had about 50 people take a look in the five hours that I was there.
Last chance to see a Transit of Venus until 2117
Get your reservations in early.

Next neat thing to see will be the total solar eclipse that will be visible all across the United states in August 2017
Here's the path of totality.
