I sometimes take on little astronomy projects, or simply have something to say about astronomy, space science, science in general, or whatever. Sometimes, this is in the context of my volunteer work at the Chabot Space and Science Center.

Venus Dancing on the Sun
It's been almost two months since the last Venus transit this century. Fortunately, I collected a huge stack of imaging data. I posted a few key images in my "Black Drop" post last month, but all along I planned to make a time lapse video; and I finally uploaded that hand assembled video. Here it is, but I recommend following the link and viewing it at the YouTube site. The JPEG artifacts of this embedded version are not as bad there. More about this video below.
