Transit of Venus

  

So Tuesday was the transit of Venus. It won't happen again until the year 2117. We all went out to try to see it.  The above picture was taken on June 5th, 2012 by NASA astronaut Don Pettit from the International Space Station. This was something like what we were hoping to see. 

The sky wasn't looking too good but everything was all set up and ready to go anyway. Unfortunately, I didn't actually get to see it although a few others did. The following are pictures I took on my phone.
