Members bassballs Posted May 17, 2005 Members Share Posted May 17, 2005 Venus Transit at Sunrise Credit & Copyright: Jimmy Westlake (Colorado Mountain College) Explanation: Did you see the transit? While some watched by webcast, sky gazers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia were able to witness the complete 6 hour journey of Venus' silhouetted disk across the face of the Sun. As seen from North America, the much heralded Venus Transit of 2004 was nearing its final stages at sunrise yesterday in this telescopic image. The view looks across the Atlantic from Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia, USA. In fact, many in eastern North America experienced a dramatic view of a perfect, dark, round Venus against a reddened Sun filtered by banks of low clouds. Ironically, the Sun takes on the appearance of a cloud covered planet itself as Venus marches toward the right through this dreamlike scene. Ya know...I always find myself asking Jason where his "Relaxing Picture of the Day" is...No one EVER asks me where my picture is taken... FYI, for those of you interested, this picture is taken in space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
