| Summary: Every 120 years or so a dark spot glides across the Sun. Small, inky-black, almost perfectly circular, it's no ordinary sunspot. Not everyone can see it, but some who do get the strangest feeling, of standing, toes curled in the damp sand, on the beach of a South Pacific isle.... Get the full story from Science@NASA. Page

#1, #2, #3 | We felt pretty lucky to have clearish skies. The photo was taken by holding my friend's cell phone camera (Audiovox CDM8900) up to the eyepiece of my telescope (which explains the quality of the images.) Telescope details: Orion Skyquest XT8 8' Dobsonian, Orion glass full-aperature solar filter, Siebert 6mm eyepiece. |

#1, more | Transit of Venus projected through binoculars on a sheet of paper on the wall, with a low-res Palm Zire 71 digital camera set to 'Sunlight' to get a true color image. The sun was shrouded by a layer of fog and haze. |

#1 | It was 7:06 am when I took the picture. I didn't have the telescope with me and i just used a pair of binoculars 7x50 to project the picture on my t-shirt as you can see on this picture. Venus was very close to the edge of the sun. |

#1, #2 | The morning fog and atmospheric haze on the horizon acted as a filter as the sun started rising and allowed for not only a viewing of Venus in transit but also a plane transiting the sun. Details: Canon 300Dslr, ISO 100, 32mm plossl eyepiece, Meade LX200gps |
