Venus Transit Web Stream

So Venus was visible "transiting" across the face of the sun, the next time this will happen is over a hundred years in the future. Unfortunately it occurred while the sun was set here although it might have been visible shortly after sunrise if not for the thick cloud cover locally.

However thanks to modern technologies of the internet I was able to watch live feeds of it directly from NASA over the internet, it was an interesting show that NASA put on explaining historical information about previous transits of Venus and the current transit.

I do feel taking a photograph of a screen shot is sort of cheating, but was a one off event, Venus can be clearly seen as a small black disc against the image of the sun.
