The transit of Venus! The rare event will be visible in the late afternoon today in the Western Hemisphere—or Wednesday morning in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is a show you likely have never seen before and will never see again. During Venus’s upcoming transit, the planet will appear to be a little black dot drifting slowly across the face of the sun. It’s a spectacle that won’t happen again for another 105 years. The event is so unique that museums and schools around the world are holding Venus viewing parties for those who want to see the sun with a temporary beauty mark. Even astronauts aboard the International Space Station are planning to watch the transit. So make tonight a special night to watch the sunset to catch the sky show!
