Venus Transit on Tuesday (Video)
June 4, 2012 | Los Angeles Times

Venus will pass across the face of the Sun on Tuesday. It will be visible in most of the United States during the afternoon.

Safety Note: As with a solar eclipse you should not look directly at the sun without eye protection. You can use the same protective glasses used for watching a solar eclipse. NASA recommends No. 14 welder’s glasses.
