To David Triplett - Passage of Venus

Thank you! When did you capture this one? It must have been a long time, since we haven't seen so many sun spots in quite a while.

this photo was taken on June 6th 2012, the next transit will be in 2117, ciao Giangiorgio

Remarkable shot of a rare event, Giangiorgio! It is beautiful! I looked at the astronomical calendar for 2020. I hope you do not miss the events that may be observed. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

thank you Tatiana, I'm glad you liked it, I will certainly follow your advice, ciao Giangiorgio

Giangiorgio, this image is indeed a fitting tribute to David. Had I not read David's narrative and yours, I would have taken this image as an abstract and wouldn't have taken the small black dots as sunspots. I too will be on the watch during 2020. - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!

Thanks Michael, for your visit and the nice comment, I paid tribute to David who posted the photo of the sun with the recent transit of Mercury, which reminded me of this photo taken by me on the occasion of the transit of Venus in 2012. Those black dots are Venus in my photo and Mercury in David's not sunspots

Superb shot! Must have been thrilling just to see it. What a memory that will stir up every time you look at it in the future!

Thanks a lot Warren for your beautiful appreciated comment

Great documentary, Giangiorgio! I'm amazed with your knowledge of space matters as well as of birds and other things! Complimenti! PDE
