Venus Transit Tuesday, June 5th
Don't forget to head down to Flandrau Science Center at the UA campus this Tuesday night for the Venus transit! This means that Venus will be passing in front of the Sun. Much like a solar eclipse, where the moon comes between Earth and the Sun, Venus will be passing across the face of the Sun in the same manner. The difference is that Venus will appear much smaller than the moon because of its distance from the Earth. Admission is free and they'll have solar telescopes available for viewing, as well as science demonstrations and other fun activities. Check out the Flandrau website for more info!
