Venus Transit

Tuesday June 8th 2004 03:37 PM PST

There was no chance for the people on the West Coast of the US to see the Venus transit today. The sun wasn't up yet. So we've gotta wait til 2012 to see the next venus transit. After that it will be over 100 years til the next one.

"There will be no other till the twenty-first century of our era has dawned upon the Earth and the June flowers are blooming in 2004. What will be the state of science ? God only knows."
- William Harkness, U.S. Naval Observatory 1882
