Venus Transit of the sun - too cloudy

[Richard Burns]

Any astronomers here who have any clear skies for tomorrow?
For the last time for 112 years Venus will transit across the face of the sun at dawn tomorrow and it is clouded out!

I saw the last one by nipping out of a meeting early but I don't think this will help this time, sorely disappointed, British weather Huh.

Will have to watch online, not quite the experience I was hoping for.
If anyone has clear skies these are the details of the transit.View attachment TOV2012-Tab04.pdfView attachment Venus Transit 2012 TOV2012-Fig01.pdf

I can't see it being much of a let down for most of us
I am led to believe the UK is not the ideal place for it to be viewed

Apparently, even with a clear sky, Venus will be seen to just about manage to skip the outer edge(as seen from our country)
Shame about the weather,although it was never going to be a lunar or solar eclipse sort of event

And that is it until December 2117, good live streaming pictures from the Keck observatory, just managed to make out the disc of the sun under the clouds here.
