Transit of Venus- Once in 120 years, don't miss

[Todd@RUPES]

Given the average life of a human is about 80 years, don't miss the transit of Venus, which occurs about every 120 years. Basically the planet Venus will be in alignment of our plane with the sun and they will pass in front of each other.

Was total clouds here. Stuck at the shop all night was looking forward to taking a break and watching earlier. Had my welding hood ready. Along with pinhole paper. My business neighbors would have wondered WT???
Guess I'll have to have myself frozen and thawed for the next one.

It was storming here, I guess I'll just have to live my life without ever seeing the awesome sight of mars over the sun
