This was the scene about 3 Tuesday afternoon, June 5, as local astronomers set up their viewing stations in preparation for the historic Transit of Venus, in which Venus crossed the face of the sun. About 2,000 took the opportunity to see the transit through these specialized optical devices. The next opportunity will be in 2117. You and I will miss that one.
