Venus transit. Venus' path crossed the sun today. It won't happen again for another 115 years.
Here are some shots taken here in Alamogordo.

I don't know
if the locals were really concerned or just suspicious but I had a guy
in a pick-up truck stop and ask me what I was doing. He seemed satisfied
with the answer about Venus and the Sun and moved on. Just as I was
leaving a deputy sheriff was coming down the road too but made no
attempt to stop me.
If you notice on this blown up version, Venus is that tiny dark spot located approximately at the 3:00 O'clock level in the sun.
You know, in the grand scheme of things, we aren't all that big are we?
