2004 Venus Transit In Pictures
oneiros27 writes "For those astronomy fans out there -- pictures are starting to come in from the 2004 Venus Transit (where Venus passes in front of the sun). Times of the transit will vary by city, but make sure you use safe techniques for viewing the sun if you want to look for yourself."

Mods should be forced to demonstrate that they have a sense of humor before they gain the ability to moderate something unfunny.

Stop the world; I need to get off.
The word "transit" also applies to buses, trains, and subways. But that's not what we're talking about either. The transit of Venus begins when Venus is observed passing the limb of the sun. Bringing up unrelated data about the corona is not going to make the Transit of Venus start any sooner.
