The Transit of Venus - in Ultraviolet
Last year,
I posted a picture of the 2012 Transit of Venus
and mentioned that it was the most dynamic picture taken of the event. I was wrong.
You're looking at the sun, filtered for three types of ultraviolet light, with the black dot of Venus crossing it. Damn! Check out
the NASA website for a larger picture
and a description of how the image was created.
