Hey Space Placers!
I have another Venus story for you following yesterday's blog. In June 2012 Venus will pass between Earth and the Sun in an event called a "transit of the Sun". This is a very unique opportunity for astronomers to study Venus as the next Venus transit of the Sun will occur after every human alive today passes on - it occurs in 2117.
Astronomers are making final preparations for the June Venus solar transit all around the world. Much more will be coming on this event as it gets closer.
