We all want to make our mark on history in some way. Well today isn’t that day…instead history will happen around you for your to see and be jealous of, fun right? What I’m getting at is there is something happening today called the “Transit of Venus” and it’s basically like an eclipse with the planet venus instead of the moon. Except the whole blocking out the sun thing that you imagine when you think of an eclipse. This will be a small dot on the sun that you CAN see but wouldn’t probably notice if I didn’t just tell you it was going to happen (see picture above… no thats not a freckle…it’s Venus). The history part is that this only happens every 100 years or so. If you miss is today you will most likely never see it again because the next time it will happen will be the year 2117. It happens in 2’s and this is the second time. The first was June 2004 but then it disappears for a century. It will happen at 6pm EST today and you can see it with one of those eclipse viewers.
