Transit of Venus – a request
Nothing to do with vans or tennis-players. We are talking of the planet Venus, which is due to travel across the sun at early dawn on June 6th of this year. It will be visible from Arran from 0500 until 0600. There will not be another transit until 2117, over a century hence, so this is your only chance to see the phenomenon. Venus will look like a small black globe travelling across the face of the sun.
