Last chance to see the "The Transit of Venus" for 105 years

[roadwreck]

I thought this was pretty cool and unless our healthcare system improves dramatically between now and 2117 none up us are likely to have another opportunity to see it.

I saw it on the news last night. CBS did a really good story on it.

It looks like the crappy weather here today will ruin it.

I read that as CSB and wondered why an engineer was on the news talking about it... ooops.

The transit of venus sounds like something that belongs in Urban Dictionary.

What are some potential definitions?

Boom.....derailed.

 

[knight1fox3]

What time is this supposed to take place? If it hasn't already...

 

[Chucktown PE]

Damnit, this thread was supposed to be derailed at 10:37 this morning. What the hell is the matter with you people?

 

[engineergurl]

I figured black hole sun would kinda start a derailment but no one has mentioned it...

I was outside watching it until the rain storm showed up; but it's about to blow over, so I'll go back outside for a while and see how far it's changed in the past hour and a half.

A co-worker snapped a great photo, but it's 5MB... Will get it uploaded somewhere tomorrow to share if I can.

When a lady smears her lady parts across your face? Male counterpart: the transit of *****, which isn't nearly as eventful.

Back on track: Wired.com is streaming live footage of it today.

*Edit* Chuck, I'm ashamed of you for not coming up with your own suggestions.

 

[Master slacker]

Darn. I missed it. I guess I can't go on living.

You're progressing quite nicely.

This is the photo that my co-worker took yesterday! Made the local newspaper

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

There seems to be a bit of dust on the lense just at the top-left area of the sun...

 

[roadwreck]

that's an awesome picture bly

 

[YMZ PE]

Yeah, that picture is gorgeous!

 

[blybrook PE]

it belongs to a co-worker, I'll pass on the additional praise.

 

[MGX]

Grabbed my welding mask to view the transit and then the rainclouds rolled in!

...have to catch it next lifetime

What are we supposed to do now?
