The Transit of Venus

As viewed from East Melbourne.


Don't worry, we didn't look directly at it.



We rigged up a a telescope with a solar filter.



The results were better than we could have anticipated.*


 
  

*The role of the sun in today's transit was played by a Pear and Chocolate Tart made by The Cake-maker Virtuoso.
