On June 6, 2012 millions watched the transit of Venus across the sun. While millions watched, many others missed this rare celestial phenomenon. Some people missed it because they were looking the wrong way or they live on the wrong side of the planet. Others missed out simply because the didn’t give a hoot, or they were nestled deep underground tunneling through their mine craft worlds.
Whatever the reason, if you missed it, here is a  re-enactment  based on detailed eyewitness accounts.

I don’t know which ds106 assignment this really belongs under.  I used Swede a Scene even though this is an animated gif, not a video.

That’s my story. Any questions?
