If you get the chance, don't miss seeing the transit of Venus this morning. No one alive has seen it before, and none of us will ever see it again, unless we're still alive in 2117.

More info about it than you can shake a telescope at, at

Just don't look directly at the sun!!

I think that there's another one visible from earth in eight years - I believe it may not be visible from the UK, but not everyone on the forum is in the UK... (and I don't think today's is visible from everywhere).

Quite so. Our Aussie friends should be able to see the next one in 2012...

What time is this supposed to be happening at?

You've missed it (not that you could see anything through the clouds) but it was moving across the sun from about 6:15 till 12:15 appx {I think}
