Transit of Venus
Transit of Venus 2012
I went home early to show the kids the transit of Venus. We found their magnifying glass and some white cardboard and went outside. We held the glass up to the sun and the paper a few feet away and got a nice projection of the sun onto the paper. Alden, Meredith, Grand D., and I could venus in the upper left corner of the bright circle of the sun projected onto the paper. Of course it’s on the opposite side from the picture since we were looking at it from a right to left reflection point of view, ie from behind the rays.
It’s the last transit of Venus for a century! Glad we got to see it! This reminds me of when I was in middle school. We all went outside to see the eclipse. We all punched a small hole in a piece of paper, folded it in half, and projected the sun onto the other side. We each watched on our own paper as the sun was partially covered by the moon. Very cool, and such a good memory.
