I totally forgot about the transit this morning. I had heard of it a few months ago when I was looking for some neat stuff to look at through my telescope. I was planning on having a solar filter around so that I could see this, but that didn't materialize, and I didn't even try out the pinhole method that we discussed in class last night.
Oh, well. I guess I’ll just have to wait for the next transit in 2012, when it’ll be easier to remember because it’s happening at sunset. Abby will be 11 then, and possibly interested in seeing it, too.
