Touchdown! Greaser!
Guys, don't throw out your sunshades just yet.
June 5...last chance for over 100 years to see a transit of Venus (the planet will pass across the disc of the sun itself...like an annular eclipse, but Venus is a wee bit smaller in the sky than the moon). It happens on this weird cycle with 2 times 8 years apart (2004 was the last one), then a gap either 105.5 or 121.5 years. So, if you miss this one, it's unlikely you'll get another shot!
