Time lapse video of Venus transit seen from SDO
 
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! :eek:

Tru dat. Seriously, you can't look at that and realize how small we are, and how big the sun truly is.
