    Venus is crossing before the Sun....

    http://www.transitofvenus.org/

    Hand I know before hand, I would like to think that I should be ready to observe. However.... Its cloudy and supposed to rain off and on for the next 4 days. (so I prolly couldn't view it anyway)

    I was quite the Astronomy buff in High School, but somehow, somewhere along the way I lost track of it.

    Oh well.

    Yeah, I've heard of this two times today. But I'm not really interested... cause it hurts to look directly at the sun.

    yeah, I doubt that astronomers in north america could view it anyway. it is said that a path from south asia to south america is the best place to view it.

    I've also heard that this event heralds bad tidings in some Native American cultures also.

    Hope this doens't bring around bad tidings for em....it'll happen again in 2014. Would hate to see bad tidings twice in one decade! ;)

    We watch cnn all day at work and they have been talkin about this for the past 2 days. Its very interesting but not much to see from the US :(

    Thanx~!
    I figured out my problem....
    I was trying to assign the [action] to the FRAME; not the button. Then the (insert expletive delete here) [hit area] wasn't solid. So I just rebuilt the whole thing~!

    Oh well. :)

    Speaking of Sigs... Sentrosi - I almost snorted Kona coffee out my nose and ruin my 'quiet' keyboard, when I saw yours~!
    ;)

    Maybe it's because they all look at the event with the improper equipment and fry their retinas looking into the sun? ;)
