<O.T> Transit of Venus across the face of the Sun
Hi Skunks, The event happens next week on Tuesday - Wednesday. Its the only time in YOUR lifetime you will be able to see it [ http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/05/30/everything-you-nee... ] Martin.
The schedule here [ http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/transit/venus/city12-1.html ] indicates that the transit is visible from Nairobi with the Sunrise at around 4:40am. This should be its last part (I guess on the 6th of June - Wednesday next week ) Martin. On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 9:25 AM, Martin Chiteri <martin.chiteri@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi Kivuva, I think it will be possible to see the event at other times when it is visible during daylight in other cities around the world. Looking directly at the sun may cause damage to your eyes. I have copied links from the article to the sites with the facilities: 1) http://venustransit.nasa.gov/2012/transit/ 2) http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/nasaedge/index.html 3) https://gaia.am.ub.es/serviastro/www/html/venus2012/live/index.html 4) http://venustransit.nso.edu/live.html 5) http://www.exploratorium.edu/venus/ 6) http://www.nasa.gov/ntv 7) http://www.ccssc.org/transit2012.html 8) http://www.bareket-astro.com/live-astronomical-web-cast/live-free-venus-tran... 9) http://skycenter.arizona.edu/annoucement/live *@Gisho*, these are things I find extremely fascinating, so please forgive the enthusiasm. Its two days for me, just two days from my *entire lifetime*:D Martin. On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 10:26 AM, Kivuva <Kivuva@transworldafrica.com>wrote:

I have just realized how futile waking up in the morning to witness the crossing would be -- please find attached picture. Now in africa, the sun does not appear as magnified as in winter countries - so it will appear like a tennis ball in the sky. Now add in the sun rays --- you will never see that tiny dot in a shiny object ...

The comic says that some guy stayed 9 years in the sea waiting for Venus to pass by the sun - What the heck was wrong with guy? ( When he went back home, his wife was sleeping with some hippie squandering his wealth) Now that was a true Geek !!!

Natural life is the period you "breathe" before your normal expiry date, no steroids, etc. Nothing much really :) Martin.

Don't take it too literally. The transit should be visible when the sun appears a little later on, or so I think. Whatever the case, this is something worth seeing. Personally, I will be up on both days very early in the morning. Martin. On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 10:21 AM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:
