Venus Enters the Solar Disk

Here’s a video of Venus as it crosses over in front of the Sun’s face. The true scale of our solar system is represented here, in amazing clarity. Venus looks as if it’s going to be swallowed up by the Sun, burned to a planetary crisp … but then you remember that it’s still 108 million kilometers away.

Tune in live.
