Captured: Transit of Venus 2012
Today’s transit of Venus is the last one we’ll see in our lifetimes. We were lucky to have a fog-free afternoon to watch the small dot traipse across the sun. We still had our eclipse glasses from our recent solar eclipse chase, along with a lingering astronomical itch.
Science!

Boo! Too cloudy in NY to see it and not enough time to go transit chasin’.
Boo! Joe must have used up all his anti-cloud mojo for the solar eclipse.
Agh I just found out about this today, totally missed it.You got a great photo of it.
Thanks. Considering I snapped it in between meetings, I’m satisfied. It does make me want a bigger, bad-asser lens.
This is very cool! So awesome you got the chance to see it.
Todd and I have totally found a new love for astronomy.
