Today was the last time any of us will get to experience this event in our lifetimes. Did any of you guys watch it, either via telescope or via NASA livefeed? I watched the first hour of it at a science museumy place downtown, but alas, the demands of family kept me from watching the whole thing. Would have been cool to have watched it from my home telescope, but we were celebrating a birthday, so it wouldn't have worked out.
I was asleep when it happened. I wouldn't have watched it anyway. If Pluto doesn't get respect as a planet, then I won't give any to venus. -- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums
Venus is an awesome planet. With an atmosphere full of carbon dioxide, and clouds of sulphuric acid, who can resist it?

Coming from someone who has quite the fascination with astronomy and the giant universe, I didn't really care about it. I didn't even know about it until it was over. It started for me at 10am. I woke up at 3pm.
Whatever the case, I was lied to about it in 2004. They said another one wouldn't happen until the 22nd century. What, are they going to lie about it this time as well?
IDC. It's a planet millions of miles away that I will never travel to and probably won't have any significance in my life that I can tell. So IDC.
My least favorite planet to be honest. Tell me if Neptune is hurtling towards us, then I'll go outside.
Dood, itz lik, wai mor trippi an stufs. Really, blue is better than green. I agree with Rarity on this one.
