Venus Transits of 2012

More information about the 2012 pair of Venus transits thanks to the folks at www.science.nasa.gov, including a look into the ISS and the first time in history that a transit will be photographed from space courtesy astronaut Don Pettit.

Strawberry Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse, Annular Solar Eclipse, and Venus Transit 2012

Great video by www.science.nasa.gov about the May 2012 annular solar eclipse that turned our Sun into a ring of fire, the June 4th, 2012 "Strawberry Moon" partial lunar eclipse, and the June 5-6th, 2012 transit of Venus across the face of our Sun.  With so much going on in the skies, this really is an exciting year to be watching the "heavens"!  For more information on just how much is happening, when, and where to look, keep www.SpaceWeather.com bookmarked... I do. 


Happy gazing,
Adam
