You can see venus loads, it just looks like a star but slightly different colour.

Maybe they will add them for the next one in 2012!  tongue.gif

2012? I thought this event only happened once a centery?

elliptical orbit

all the planets spin on an eliptical orbit. from what i gathered, it was the movement on the y axis that caused it to appear infront of the sun so infequently.

define your axes Laurence, you're in a 3d space and I'm confused.

using the orbit as the x & z axis, the y axis would be vertical from there (ie the rough direction of the north/south polls)

Oh right, I get you. Is venus in the way of the sun at the moment then? Like a mini eclipse.

about 3 and a half hours ago it was. but obviously due to the diference in aspect ratio (i think thats the term for it), its not noticable unless your looking out for it

I hope people weren't staring at the sun trying to catch a glimpse.

aye, if i remember rightly, Venus is a very light purply colour, you can see Mars too,as a light orangy colour, although i think its visibility is better in winter
