How to Watch the Last Transit of Venus This Century - Polidicks

[QUOTE=faze;36215505]I looked several times (didn't see it yet) through the reflection of the sun on my cell phone screen. I had that at first but it's gone now.[/QUOTE] Alright thanks, was afraid she was like going blind or something. [QUOTE=DesolateGrun;36215632] You eyepiece and mirror might be fucked broham[/QUOTE] Shit, that can happen from having it face the sun?

I just saw it. Used 4 pairs of sunglasses and a big welders thingy

Just got back from watching it through the university telescope. Too bad we live in a mountainous region, and the sun set earlier on. :(

It was too damn cloudy.

i tried to look at it but there's a tree in the way fuck you, tree

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;36216607]i tried to look at it but there's a tree in the way fuck you, tree[/QUOTE] you just got to see the extra-special transit of Tree in front of Venus and the Sun

All I got was clouds.

[QUOTE=Vassikin;36214906]My teacher had a Sunspotter and a telescope set up at the school. I wasn't able to get a picture through the telescope but I did get a picture of the projection onto the Sunspotter.

i missed it :(

Would a Mercury transit be visible?

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;36217288]Would a Mercury transit be visible?[/QUOTE] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_of_Mercury"]they happen[/URL], but since Mercury is further away and also much smaller than Venus, it's probably not the kind of thing you can see with just a pair of eclipse glasses

Not as cool as some of the high end telescope pics but I took one with my telescope. [img]http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt57/Yurgenst/IMG_0432copy.jpg[/img]

I took a [sub]shitty[/sub] picture of the transit with my camera, venus was just a black dot :v: I cant send the picture to my gmail though ;~; nonetheless, this was a great thing to see in my lifetime

Me and a friends went up on a mountain and saw it thru a welders mask and bionculars. It was really fucking cool.

It's too cloudy, here. Trying to catch the sun between the clouds. D:

In science class today we were talking about the Venus transit and someone asked if there is a Mars transit :downs:

Couldn't see it. Was overcast all day :(

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;36223995]In science class today we were talking about the Venus transit and someone asked if there is a Mars transit :downs:[/QUOTE] Well of course there is Mars transit. You just can't see it from Earth. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_of_Mars_from_Jupiter[/url] [B]July 8, 2040[/B] C'mon invest in space colonies!

Fuck you OP for not posting this earlier.

I've seen Venus and Jupiter? all the way back since March for every night up until now already I've been trying to look at it through my telescope but it's pretty broken I think
