    Venus Transit

    Today the planet Venus will pass between the Earth and the Sun. The next such alignment wont happen until 2117 (well after our life times). Should be pretty interesting. A streaming feed will happen starting at 5:30 EDT. You can watch it here if interested :

    or here :

    and this one is probably the best (just found it) :
