| [slm]..this is from an article on www.iol.co.za Venus began a transit across the Sun on Tuesday for the first time in more than a century. More than a hundred onlookers wearing special glasses joined scientists and journalists at London's Royal Observatory in Greenwich to watch as the planet began its path in front of the Sun at 05h19GMT. "We will see this little notch coming out of the side of the Sun," Royal Observatory astronomer Robert Massey said of Venus. "There will be a period of about 10 minutes before the whole planet comes onto the surface. The first time is the crucial thing, that is what people will be waiting to see. "No one living has seen this so we have no experience of it at all." Scientists said Europe, Africa and the Middle East would be the best vantage points for the rare event. Mostly clear skies are forecast in many parts of the regions. Views will be restricted from Asia and the Americas. Unlike a solar eclipse by the Moon that is over in two or three minutes, Venus's transit - which last occurred in 1882 - will go on for six hours. The planet will appear as an intense black dot, looking tiny on the solar disc. Venus was crossing from bottom left of the solar disc to the right and will be 43 million kilometres from Earth. "Venus will be about 1/30 the size of the diameter of the sun, but it will be much darker and more intense than sunspots," said Dr Robert Walsh, of the University of Central Lancashire's Centre for Astrophysics in northern England. ....
