I am a bit of an amateur astronomer and I wanted to share an amazing event with my WA family!

Today will be the last time Venus crosses between the Earth and the Sun until 2117. I have to run off to work, but I wanted to share, just in case anyone has the opportunity to see it. Here in California, the event will begin at approximately 3pm and continue until sunset. Venus will be visible as a "spot" crossing the surface of the Sun. If you have solar eclipse glasses, you can view it in person.

There will be a live broadcast at the following website:

Sorry for the late notice! I've been a bit short of time lately!

Enjoy!
