In case you missed it, the planet Venus passed in front of the sun this week – a very rare occurrence (when you live on earth) and one that won't be replicated for more than another century. The event meant every astrophotographer<\/a> worth their salt was out in force. This collection is NASA heavy (they have the best toys for this type of thing!), but check out a few of the amazing shots at the end of the collection too! And if you were lucky enough to shoot the event yourself, then share your shots in the comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p> <\/p><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit – 304 Angstrom<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n NASA's SDO Satellite Captures Venus Transit Approach — Bigger, Better!<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit – 193 Angstrom<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit – 171 Angstrom<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n NASA's SDO Satellite Captures Venus Transit Approach<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit – HMI Instrument<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n NASA's SDO Satellite Captures 2012 Venus Transit [Close-Up]<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit — Path Sequence<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit – 304 Angstrom<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n SDO's Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit – 304 Angstrom<\/a> by NASA Goddard Photo and Video<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2012 Venus Transit closeup on 2nd Contact<\/a> by jimnista<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Transit of Venus: view from Moscow through clouds<\/a> by Dmitry Kolesnikov<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Venus Transit of the rising Sun 6\/6\/2012<\/a> by sashapo<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Venus Passing in Front of the Sun<\/a> by eschipul<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Venus Transit<\/a> by Chris_Short<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Venus und Gr\u00fcner Blitz<\/a> by LLacertae<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Venus Transit 2012<\/a> by R Hensley<\/a>, on Flickr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In case you missed it, the planet Venus passed in front of the sun this week – a very rare occurrence (when you live on earth) and one that won’t be replicated for more than another century.
