Venus - a reminder
Times Online - Home has details of Tuesday's 8th June Transit of Venus..
Venus will appear as a small black disc silhouetted against the Sun at 6.19am, shortly after sunrise. Over the next six hours, it will then cut a slow left-to-right diagonal path across its southern portion, disappearing at 12.24pm.
Transits of Venus occur so infrequently that this will be the only opportunity that anyone alive today will have to view one in the skies above Britain.
