Transit of Venus

We took a break from a busy workday to check out this amazing event. Thanks to Alex for bringing his binoculars, which we used to project the image of Venus (black dot) moving across the Sun (big, bright circle) on to the paper. We live in such a cool universe and what a treat to be reminded of that in such a special way. I hope some of you also got to see this in person too as you'd have to wait a long time to see this again (another 100+ yrs).
