Venus Moon Occultation
There was an occultation of Venus by the Moon this morning. Anybody see it?

No. Moon was too low on the eastern horizon for me. Houses in the way. No doubt there will be images and vid's on the web soon enough.

This is one picture from spaceweather.

Probably the coolest part is that they look identical...except one is much bigger. The last few months when ever I have kids look through the telescope at Venus, they say.."All I see is the moon!?!" just seconds after I told them they are looking at Venus.

First things first. Venus has a transit of the sun in 2012. Obviously one would need a filter to observe it.
