Submission + - Astronomer Tom Kress remembers the transit of Venus on its 10th anniversary

davidwr writes: Astronomer Tom Kress reminisces on Space.com about watching the June 5-6, 2012 transit of Venus from Mauna Kea in Hawaii. He writes "I couldn't help but feel closer to Venus than I really was, standing on a huge terrestrial volcano and looking out at the most volcanic planet in the solar system."

Slashdot, what are your memories of the 2012 or 2004 transits? What about other celestial events that you probably won't live long enough to see again?
