View Venus in Transit at Widener Observatory
May 31, 2012
The Widener University Observatory invites the public to attend a free open house on Tuesday, June 5 from 6:15 – 8:15 p.m. to view the planet Venus as it passes across the face of the sun.
The transit of Venus – when the planet passes directly between the earth and the sun – is a rare event that will not occur again for another 115 years.
For more information, read the Widener press release and the article “Crossing the Sun: The Last Transit of Venus until 2117″ on the Scientific American web site.
