Insane High Definition Video of Venus Transit
Posted by Tony on June 8th, 2012Space seems to be the buzz word right now and if you’ve been following this site or its individual members for any length of time, you’ll know how much weight that word has around this place.
On June 5th, the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) on a five-year mission to study the sun, captured these striking images of the transit of Venus across the face of the Sun. Now those images have been compiled into one amazing video.
The event takes place in pairs that are eight years apart. The last time this happened was in 2004. Now, eight years later, it happened again and was caught by cameras with 8x the resolution of standard high-definition televisions to create this incredible video.
Now that it’s over we won’t see it happen again until the year 2117!
And by that time the bath salt epidemic will have wiped us out so enjoy it now, kids.
