Venus

I'm surprised Jimmy hasn't mentioned the event that happened a few days ago: Venus passed in front of the Sun. In any case, there are a few interesting photos on this rather long article. Apparently this doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it happens 2x in the span of about 8 years (just read the article for the specifics, because I can't remember now) and then doesn't happen again for about a hundred years. So, in 2000-something, head on out to see it, because you won't see it again in your lifetime. Unless you turn out to be like Abraham or something...
