Very flavorful and easy to make…<\/p>\n
Alright, who all had a chance to witness the Venus transit??? I had a golden opportunity to witness the transit of Venus, the Astronomy department in my University hosted a special event and they opened their observatory for public. It was very crowded and even kids from many schools came there to get a glimpse. Everyone was extremely thrilled and excited to be a part of such a rare and spectacular event. As soon as I came to know about this event which was a few weeks ago, I had instantly marked my calendar. I didn’t wanted to miss this as the next transit will happen only after 105 years, so obviously this is the only chance I’ll ever have \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Ever since I was a kid I have been always amazed by the planets, celestial bodies, moon and space related things. I still remember how I used to shoot all my silly questions about these to my grandpa, he was in deed very patient and explained everything so well. Well, one of my dreams which I know will never be true is to be an astronomer and to make a visit to the moon. No kidding, if I ever get an invitation from any of the astronomers to visit moon, I would gladly accompany them \ud83d\ude42 Keep dreaming, right???<\/p>\n
They had a huge telescope and they projected the image of the Sun to a filter, hence we were able to see the transit of Venus. It was like a beauty spot, very tiny black spot. Had it not been for the telescope and the observatory, it would have been impossible for me to see it. So it was totally worth the wait and was an amazing experience.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the pictures I clicked in my Iphone.<\/p>\n
That black spot is Venus, telescopic image projected to a filter<\/p>\n
