Transit of Venus tomorrow...

[VincentD]

Will be the last time it'll ever happen in your lifetime. Hopefully it won't be cloudy tomorrow morning.

I read that it is due to pass at 05.55 BST but that would make it midnight here or have I read it wrong ? I would love to see it.

Surely, it would be lunchtime.

Surely, it would be lunchtime.

It shows all the local Thailand times near the bottom of the page.

OOPS Getting my times mixed up yet again. 05.55 is in the afternoon not night. I think I'm going senile in my old age some days !

Not sure which Country you live in H2ODunc, but in Thailand 05-55 is 5 minutes to 6-00 am!

Well, didn't get to see it in "Smog City", but thanks to Nasa.....

The amazing video was captured by Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the sun.

On June 5 2012, SDO collected images of the rarest predictable solar event - the transit of Venus across the face of the sun.

This event happens in pairs eight years apart that are separated from each other by 105 or 121 years. The last transit was in 2004 and the next will not happen until 2117.
