On 8th June 2004 a transit of Venus will be observed from Earth when Venus comes directly between the Sun and our planet and it will be seen to move across the bright solar disk. Click on either one of the Live views to see... |

Transits of Venus are only possible during early December and early June when Venus's orbital nodes pass across the Sun. If Venus reaches inferior conjunction at this time, a transit will occur. Transits show a clear pattern of recurrence at intervals of 8, 121.5, 8 and 105.5 years. The next pair of Venus transits occur over a century from now on 2117 Dec 11 and 2125 Dec 08. |

The mysterious Xltronic "Black Dot" we got here is much more fasinating imo. =) |

hi Venus, how are you? elusive > nice pics!! especially the first one, i like how it's not just a little black circle over a big white circle like most pictures (it would just have made me want to scratch the sun to remove it, i find that totally unimpressive unless you see the actual planet and not just the little black spot over the sun)... =) |
||||||||

Uzim, you should see that same image thru a telescope. Quite mind boggling. You kinda phase out when looking through it. So desolate. So remote. |
||||||||

21000x21000 Jesus. The biggest image I haave on my computer is 9000 something square. I thought that was crazy... |
||||||||

|
how big is that pic? (in MB) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
couple hundred MB lots of compression, like I said, 1GB very high speed ram is nice i cant open the 21000 x 21000, only the 21000 x 12500 need 4GB or so for the 21k x 21k, ill hook ya up with em. maybe my image app is just failing under the load. lots of fucking virtual drivespace needed |
