On June 5, Venus made a trek across the face of the sun (as seen from earth). That may not sound like much, but it’s a rare celestial event that happens in pairs of eight year gaps, and then again after 105 or 121 years. The last such trek was in 2004, and the next will be visible in 2117. Obviously, most of us would be pushing daisies at that time, but thanks to the power of YouTube and NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, those of us who missed it can still have a look at the rare event.
