You won't see this again in your lifetime!  On Tuesday evening June 5, 2012 a rare astronomical event will occur known as the Transit of Venus.  How rare is it?

The next occurrence won't be until 2117.

For all the details including tips on viewing you can visit TransitofVenus.org

Weather permitting, the transit of Venus should be viewable in Kiss Country starting at about 4:30pm on Tuesday... and should last into the wee hours.

There will be a viewing party at Ralph A. Worley Observatory held by the Shreveport-Bossier Astronomical Society that will be free to the public.

 

Read the technical information on the transit at the NASA website.
