So, who's all set to watch Venus cross between us and the sun tomorrow?

It's curious that there are no replies here yet.
This event of Venus crossing between the earth and the sun and being visible from the earth is a rare event.

I saw a webcast today at school. Cool. It's happening here in Australia right now!

I'm watching live webcasts right now while my coffee is brewing. I've got under an hour now until local sunrise. There's a decent eastern horizon down the street, and I'll use binoculars projecting onto an index card.

www.spaceweather.com (http://www.spaceweather.com) has some links to webcasts, for anyone interested.

Just my luck. It's overcast and raining here today.
