The transit of Venus on June 5 is the second of two in this century (the first was in 2004). It won't happen again until 2117.
Once a century, the transit of Venus occurs in a pair. One took place in 2004, and the second will happen this week. After that, there won’t be another until 2117. Glenn Walsh from the Friends of the Zeiss and John Radzilowicz, Director of Science & Education at the Carnegie Science Center, join us to talk about this and other astronomical events that Pittsburghers may have to look forward to (weather permitting).
Correction: This post earlier said that Glenn Walsh is from the Buhl Planetarium. Glenn Walsh is no longer with the Buhl Planetarium, but he is still with the Friends of the Zeiss.
