And it won't happen until 2125 for most of the US.
Please people. Only look directly for the transit through welding goggles or other similar protection. Without protection, the ony safe way is to project the image of the Sun through a pinhole on one sheet and on to a second sheet (white cardboard works best).
cloudy today, but the sun just came out, whole rather have the Royal Society outfit me for trip to Tahiti, course he had to round Cape Horn Janurary 25,1769

Hi, these photographs are from a co-worker of mine (Marcus Centurion) who kindly allowed me to post them here.
Working for a space systems company I knew one of the guys would have taken photographs...............Rod.
Looks like he needs to clean his lenses. ;)Quote:
