Venus Transit

Reuters reports "Europe, Africa and the Middle East are the best vantage points to see the first transit of Venus across the sun in more than a century on Tuesday, scientists said.
Mostly clear skies are forecast in many parts of the three regions, but people were urged to be careful if they watch the rare event when it begins at 1:19 a.m. EDT because it could cause blindness. Views will be restricted from Asia and the Americas.
Unlike a solar eclipse by the moon that is over in two or three minutes, Venus's transit -- which last occurred in 1882 -- will go on for six hours."

People on the west coast will be able to witness this once in a life time event. For those of us on the east coast, we will most likely miss it. Maybe I can try to catch the end of this transit super early tuesday morning.
