Transit of Venus

[TomM]

Quite :cool:, even if it is a bit of an anti-climax. Although it is pretty mind-boggling that the closest that Venus gets to the earth is 26 million miles... :eek: And we can see it!

We're all been using wads of X-rays as 'solar glasses' - works quite well :D


Now we're all arguing about the limits of the universe. :wack:

Its just a bit "ooh look, a little black dot in the sun" :sleep: now that the scientific discovery side of it pretty meaningless

Killjoy eh :rolleyes::D
