Transit of Venus 06.06.
I’m intrigued by the astros, and have been for as long as I can remember. In fact, one of my first memories (I was five) is falling asleep under the stars. There has always been an intense comfort in thinking of the skies above and around us. I’ve had “Venus!!” marked on my calendar for almost a year anticipating the Transit of Venus. Thankfully, we have NASA in our backyard, so of course The Space and Rocket Center was having a free event to celebrate. There were telescopes set up, as well as projections, to view Venus crossing the Sun. It was incredible. Sure, it was a black dot moving across a larger orange spot in the images…but to know that’s fucking Venus crossing the fucking Sun is mind-blowing. It was surreal seeing such an occurrence!
To finish off the day, we (appropriately) went to a Stars game!
