I am so glad we saw the last one because the next transit of Venus we can see from Earth will be in 2117. I'm afraid I'll be off planet that year. I'd have to dig deeper to find out about transits of Earth but just think how small the sun is at that range. The odds of a transit of earth must be, wait for it......astronomical.
I'd have waved if I knew they were gonna take my picture.
ReplyDeleteNo, really, the Miley smile was good enough. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat is just amazing. I never thought about the Earth in the Martian sky. I hope they got of good view of the transit of Earth last summer!
