THE TRANSIT OF VENUS

Among the rarest astronomical phenomena that happens every 243 years in the universe is the Transit of Venus…this is when the planet Venus passes through between the Sun and the Earth. And when this happens, the planet Venus looks like a small black rounded marble nibbling around  the big yellow ball shape, which is the sun. Seeing this phenomenon by my own eyes is something I must say is a privilege because not all people around the world has the opportunity to witness this event. And I’m just one of those I say blessed to witness this phenomenon……and witnessing this great astronomical event using a humongous telescope provided by the staff of the Nido Fortified Science Center.
