Transit of Venus

I was so excited to find out that I would actually get to see the Transit of Venus yesterday.  I knew that I did not have the correct stuff to view the rare event, but, of course, Harvey Mudd College was right on it.

The college had a little party set up with a tent and refreshments, solar viewing glasses, telescopes and plenty of science nerds.  Someone was taking time lapse photos, and I believe they will appear on the HMC website in the near future.  Here is a link to some cool photos.
