visible from Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe and eastern parts of the
Americas. Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips and links to live

Sun four times during the 6+ hour transit of Venus on June 8th.  Advanced
observers in parts of Europe, Africa and Asia might be able to record the
double transit. Get the details at Spaceweather.com.
