Venus Transit

We went to the Science Museum to view the Venus Transit, with the help of the Fort Worth Astronomical Society.  A Venus Transit is when Venus passes between the Earth and the sun.  We can see Venus (with protective glasses) as a black spot on the sun.  It won't happen again until 2117.

You can see some the the telescopes set up behind the kids.

The Science Museum projected the live image on the wall.  Each kids wanted their picture with it.
