Looking Up Tonight?

Sunshine Stress Ball

Tonight is the Transit of Venus. Venus will visibly move in front of the Sun, like a grape in front of a watermelon. Are you going to watch it? It won't come around again until 2117. I suspect you and I won't be here for that.

Unlike this sunny stress toy, I don't have special solar eclipse glasses. I heard I could make some out of paper towel tubes...but I think I will try and figure something else out. It sounded complicated and I am at work until the Transit begins. But I am not without ideas. A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine watched the solar eclipse through  two open car doors with tinted windows. I'm going to try that--double tinted windows.

Are you looking up at the skies tonight?
