Venus Transit

Nice animation - well done. It captures that initial feeling of history
being made!

Thanks

Contrary to the perpetual expectations of the Chicken Littles of the
world, Venus passed on a line (allowing a visible transit across the
face of the sun) between the Earth and the Sun, with no disasters or
doom.

In 8 years time, because of the well established laws of celestial
mechanics, it will do so again.

In the meantime, I took some photographs.

We had well over 500 attendees to our event, and they were all
interested in the event. Not one of the members of the public, nor the
school children who came, were worried about the sky falling on our
heads. They were all too intelligent. Pity for the poor chicken
littles of the world, There's 500 more smart people who know the
prophets of doom are nutjobs.

Well a former President did die...
