Default The Transit of Venus - Live Webcast - BBC Wiltshire website

Sky was a bit cloudy, but I was able to get an image through the high stuff.

(not the best image - projected onto a card then photographed the card)

And if you miss this one, the next one is AD2125 or AD2247! Been so busy
organising the local event for viewing the transit, so if anyone in the

Hull
area wants a look, we're at the Cottingham Golf Club, off Harland Way.


Or June 6th 2012, which is more realistic. In Britain it will be
nearly over when the sun rises, but if you're an early riser
you should see it. Nice map at

(see also http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclips...enus0412.html).

Short break in cloud here at 8:15 am enabled us to see it briefly.
The "warmest day of the year" (forecast) so far has a maximum of 18.4
and the temperature has been falling since mid morning.
