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

I see the effect particularly for the image where most of Venus has passed in front of the sun. It is a simple optical illusion and if you cover the bright lim of the sun with your fingers, it goes away.

Check for example 33 seconds in (where the limb of the sun is actually dark). I've masked off the whole image except for Venus and I'm still seeing the effect.
