Venus Transit: Last in our lifetimes

[sad_winslow]

Today for the last time in the next hundred years, the planet Venus crossed in front of the Sun. Did any of you make it to see?

There was an event at my community college to check it out, so I went. They had filtered telescopes, eclipse glasses and filter glass to peek through, and a pinhole projector. I can post pics if anyone is interested. It was very cool. A nice day of admiring something that we tend to take for granted, that big lightbulb in the sky that sears our pasty internet flesh and burns our LCD-tender eyes.
