Great video released from NASA of yesterday's transit of Venus past the Sun, this is a very rare event that we will not see again from the earth for over 100 years.

Venus is roughly the size of Earth, so this video should give us all perepective.

I was thinking of that also Venus is much closer to the Earth than the SUn so the illusion of our perspective makes it look much larger than it is relative to the Sun!

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
