Rare Venus Transit Set For June 5th/6th 2012
16 March 2012
One of the most amazing celestial events; a Venus Transit, is set for June
5th/6th 2012!
The planet Venus will “Transit” the disk of the Sun on June 5th/6th of this
year, for lucky observers in the western USA and the Pacific.
The last time that this occurred, was back on June 8th 2004 and after 8 years,
the transit returns….this will not occur again in your lifetime, with an average of 137 years, between transit cycles….do not miss this event!
Here are some links, to help you be in the right location and safely view and
experience a bit of history!
