World Watchers as Venus Passes across the Sun

Skywatchers look in awe as Venus passed in front of the Sun- an event that won't be seen again for another 105 years. The transit of Venus began shortly after 10pm GMT in cloud-free areas of North America, Central America and the northern part of South America. It was visible, with magnification, as a tiny black dot on the solar surface. In Britain, Venus was passing the sun in the early hours of the morning at 5:37am in London but the dreary weather could block. While the rain may hold off in places, forecasters predict cloud cover across much of the country.

It will look as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than any other moon of 2012. The scientific term for when the moonis at the point nearest to Earth is perigee. A perigee full moon happens about once a year. Last year's super moon was on March 19. It was reported the biggest and brightest moon in 18 years. The super moon on May 5 will not cause ocean tides high enough to cause any problems. However, the same cannot be said for the super moon of 1912.
