Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hello All,Thought you might enjoy this tidbit..Aloha, SallySpace Weather News for June 17, 2007http://spaceweather.com European sky watchers should be alert on Monday, June 18th, for amid-afternoon eclipse of Venus by the crescent Moon. Hanging high in thesky, Venus will appear as a pinprick of light beside the Moon, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight until the edge of the Moon covers theplanet. (Technically, this is called a " lunar occultation. " ) Binocularswill improve visibility, but be careful not to point them at the sun. Elsewhere, in the Middle East, India and Pakistan, the eclipse can beseen around sunset and after dark. From those places, a clear view ofthe western horizon is essential because the Moon and Venus will be setting, but the sight should be spectacular. Except for a small regionaround the Canadian maritime provinces, this event will be completelyinvisible from North America.Please check http://spaceweather.com for photos, timetables and aworldwide visibility map.Sally Spencer, Jyotish KovidA Gentle Journey to Deep Healing-Ascension work, AstrologyVedic (Hindu) and Western Waves of LoveEntering the PlanetIt's inevitable.
