Celestial Bodies

It's one of those historic days in the sky again. This time it's the planet Venus which moved in front of our sun, and was visible through the appropriate viewing apparatus (or a triple-folded piece of silver-foil wrapping paper) as a tiny dot in the upper-right-hand quadrant of the orb.

Nice. Not going to happen again for 120 years, so this was my only chance to see it.

HOWEVER, a new daily game of our flaming planet is to hide behind banks of clouds until, oh..say..about 1pm - about the time it can aim directly at my computer screen during winter and make everything on it invisible until 3! And then it kindly gets back under it's covers for the day....
