OK, who plan to watch this? Besides me, of course. Next one will happen in 2117, so I'd advise the most people to watch it if possible.

Will be visible at sunrise from where i live. Fortunately I'm supposed to wake up early on Wednesday (class starts at fooking 8.30am O_>). I usually wake up around 5.30am - 6.00am on that day. Definitely something not to miss (unless you can live past a century which is possible).

So this will be visible without a telescope or any other device?

Yes, it's enough visible to seen without a telescope I think, but you still need welder glasses or something similar to see it.

I have already seens sunspots with a '99 eclipse obsderver glasses in this year and I doubt Venus is smaller than that, considering that Venus is visible at night and visibly has a width.

Just watched this with my telescope, definitely worth waking up at 4am. I also noticed some sunspots. Smile

Can't be seen from where I live, which sucks. I guess I could watch videos from it though.

It was pretty cool looking at the tiny black dot crossing the sun and realising that Goddamned tiny speck of a thing is a planet. But I get impressed easily #Tongue

On the 10 cm wide refractor which had a special layer... I even seen a [s]protuberance[/s] solar prominence under the Venus at exit.

We had wonderful weather here, sorry for those who've missed it.

EDIT: To hell with English, giving it a different name -_-
