MikeB Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) The planet Venus is currently passing between the earth and sun, making it visible as a black dot against the sun. The entire transit is visible in the Philippines but I guess you have to try early morning or late afternoon, the sun is blinding right now. The next occurrence will be 2117. http://www.timeandda...us-transit.html Edited June 5, 2012 by MikeB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
