Latest Comment (June 8, 04:40 UT) : Just over 30 minutes to the begin of the transit. Venus is now 3 arcmin from the solar limb. The VT-2004 Observing Campaign now has 2006 registered participants! A look at the latest weather images from Meteosat indicate good observing conditions over most of Europe! First images from this morning are here - to the left is one from the NSO/GONG station in Australia. The middle image arrived from Delhi (India) and shows the Sun in "white light". It is obvious that there are rather few sunspots at this moment, so images in white light will show Venus' black disc on a quite uniform background. More images soon to come...
