I have made a Sun Projection Unit that makes it safe to view Sun spots and see the transit of Venus.

 This is the second and last time in the 21 century that Venus will pass in front of the Sun

After June 2012, the next pair of transits occur in December 2117 and 2125

For more Information: Transit of Venus

After sunset we will seize this opportunity to share a view of ruddy Mars, graceful Saturn, and other celestial highlights. By 10:00 p.m., Saturn is readily apparent as it hovers above the star Spica in the constellation Virgo.  Mars looms to the right at the same brightness, magnitude=0.6. 

For more Information: Night of the Transit
