Venus Transit at Palomar College Planetarium June 5, 2012

Part of the NewAdventures Photography Category.

On June 5, 2012 I watched the early portion of the Planet Venus’ Transit across the Sun at Palomar College’s Planetarium. Several hundred people took a look through the telescopes over the six-hour event to witness this celestial event. It’s one thing to see Venus on the web or TV, it’s another see it with your own eyes. 🙂

Below are pictures I took. The last one is the inside of the cool new Planetarium before the place filled-up for a special presentation on the Venus Transit.
