Venus Passes Between Earth And The Sun

Following the solar eclipse that occurred not long ago, another interesting astronomical event was visible from Busan this week.

Specifically, on Wednesday morning Busan time, the planet Venus passed in front of the sun.

I was fortunate to see this event projected on a viewing plate through a telescope that had been setup by a colleague.

I feel particularly lucky to have witnessed the passage of Venus in front of the sun because such an event is not going to happen again until 2117...
