Transit of Venus, Adelaide, South Australia

P1180999Scomp

Watching (through a solar filter) the planet Venus move across the face of the Sun this morning – the Transit of Venus.  A black dot on a red ball.  The accompanying NASA video is a high speed replay; the actual transit took about six hours.  It will be 105 years before this can be seen again.
