Transit of Venus
On the 6th of June, 2012, the planet Venus will pass directly between the Sun and the Earth, casting a silhouette that will be visible using Solar telescopes. Such transits are very rare, with the next one not occurring until 2117. IPS will be providing a live broadcast of this spectacular event using the Culgoora solar telescope.
