Venus transiting the Sun
For those of you who are interested, Venus will be making a transit of the
Sun on June 7th & 8th (depending on where you live). This is the first time it
has happened since 1882 and it will not happen again until 2012. Story at the
following link.

Some additional information on the Transit Times:
The link below provides information about the Transit Times and provides additional links for transit times for various cities around the world.
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclips...it/TV2004.html
The times are listed in "Universal Time" which, as explained, is the equivalent of Greenwich Mean Time.
(Pay close attention if your area participates in Daylight Savings Time.)

Sigh... it was cloudy until about half an hour AFTER the transit. Thank goodness for webcasts! (Better on the eyes, anyway.)

Hope your wish comes true, kitty! I didn't know about making a wish until too late so you can have my luck as well.
