Latest Comment (June 8, 05:58 UT) : We had second contact ! There are now reports that observers in different places have seen the dark spot of Venus through special sun viewing glasses, without any telescopic aid. It is obvious that there are rather few sunspots at this moment, so images during the next hours in white light will show Venus' black disc on a quite uniform background.
