Under British Skies Solar Special

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

In this evening program we are covering most aspects of our Sun. One rare major event occurred on June 8, 2004, which was the transit of Venus. I was privileged to observe this with members of Croydon Astronomical Society at RAF Kenley, 14 miles South of the City of London. More on this tonight, but here are many pictures we took of the transit.
