On June 5th, 2012, Venus will pass across the face of the sun
producing a silhouette that no one alive today will likely see again.
Transits of Venus are very rare, coming in pairs separated by
more than a hundred years. This June's transit, the bookend
of a 2004-2012 pair, won't be repeated until the year 2117.
Fortunately, the event is widely visible.
Observers on seven continents, even a sliver of Antarctica
will be in position to see it.
