Here we have two sites celebrating the fact that Venus will pass in front of the Sun as seen from Earth on June 5/6. One will show you the happening in real time via webcam, courtesy Keck Observatory; the other will let you participate in recreating an 18th century experiment, courtesy the Bradford Robotic Telescope Project.
Here you can see a animated gif of 22 pictures I took on June 8, 2004, when the last Venus transit was visible on Earth. Taken with a simple webcam glued to my C8, through a Baader solar filter. Next time it won’t take 8 years almost to the day, but more like 105 years. So be prepared and tell the clouds to go hiking.
