The Transit of Venus - Live Webcast - BBC Wiltshire website
It only happens a dozen times a millennium, it last occurred over a
century ago and no living soul has witnessed it. But on Tuesday June 8th you'll be able to see it for yourself on the BBC website for Wiltshire... During the six hour transit images will be updated every few minutes... so click on the link above and sit back and enjoy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/weath...nus_2004.shtml |

Exciting times! John |

Watching the Transit of Venus on the telly is the equivalent of not seeing
it, unlike, say, the Cup Final or some great public event. Any amateur astronomer will know what I mean. Tudor Hughes. |

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. Sorry for the plug..... (now which sig do I put on this one...? Both I think!) -- Rob Overfield Hull; 3m ASL http://www.astrosport02.karoo.net/YorkshireWeather/ President - Hull & East Riding AS |

John sigh Good to tell you have NO sense of the appropriate, nor an interest in astronomy. The last one of these occurred in 1882, the next one which is wholly visible in the UK is June 2247 AFAIK. That's why there's programmes on BBC1 about it on Tuesday morning.... -- Rob Overfield Hull; 3m ASL http://www.astrosport02.karoo.net/YorkshireWeather/ Hull & East Riding Astronomical Society http://www.heras.org |
