Transit of Venus: watch today or never

We have CLOUDS. Of course we have CLOUDS. Figures. I'll have to watch it live-stream at National Geographic's and/or spacewweather.com's site. But if you can, don't miss this literally once-in-a-lifetime chance.

TRANSIT OF VENUS: The historic 2012 Transit of Venus commences today, June 5th, at 3:09 pm Pacific Daylight Time (22:09 UT). Spaceweather.com is covering the event with observing tips, a real-time photo gallery, and links to live webcasts from around the world.  Extraordinary photos of Venus taken during the hours leading up to the transit are also featured on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com

I've been enjoying it, here on the west coast, via the web cast. Very cool.
