Viewing Venus Transit in Seattle Area

Well, bad news. Weather isn’t looking good for tomorrow’s historic event.

It’s like 80% chance of showers almost entire Pacific Northwest extending even in to Eastern Washington. Even LIGO Observatory is not going to have sun shine. But if

you believe that a hole in the sky might appear just to take pick then there are [several events

lined up for public viewing]3 with free entry and no registration. Public events are much safer way to view Venus Transit

because they would have appropriate solar filters and/or projection boards. Some might even have live webcasts. If that much

anticipated hole in the sky does not appear then here are the options for online viewing:

• NASA Live Webscast

• Slooh Venus Transit Event

• Live from Mauna Loa, HI

• [Mount Wilson

  Observatory webcast]7

• …and other places

It would be also good time to brush up on Venus peculiarities and

[some historical

context]10.
