Description:
On June 5, 2012 we packed up our equipment and drove up to Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, TN where we joined the Cumberland Astronomical Society for their public outreach of the Venus Transit. While there, we captured all the data for this image and shared the views on our computer screen with the folks that streamed in and out. This image shows intervals of Venus in transit from 5:05pm CST until 7:13pm CST. It was a real treat to be a part of this once-in-our-lifetime event since it will not happen again for 105 years.
