Q: Will the transit of Venus in a few weeks, be visible at Mars?
Could Oppy (or orbiters) resolve it ??? -------------------- CLA CLL

Cant beleive they have taken down access to the real time high res images, Venus has been visible in SDO cameras for over an hour.

Cant beleive they have taken down access to the real time high res images, Venus has been visible in SDO cameras for over an hour. This is probably the busiest event for SDO's website for half a decade. To make sure as many people as possible saw as much as possible, they obviously did crops of images so we could all track every phase of the transit in those amazing images. Doing anything else would probably have seen their entire website go down for the duration of the event. All the images will be online again soon. Sometimes it amazes me that we are so astonishingly lucky to have the resources available to us, yet still people complain. Shameful. |
