    Venus transits the sun tomorrow

    Starting at about 22:00 UCT on June 5, Venus will being a six-hour transit of the sun. Don't miss it—the next time this is going to happen is 2117.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Yes! Quite a lot of them, in fact. The photo is not sharp enough to really show them well but the SSN is 155 today.

    What did you think she was talking about when she mentioned "chaining?"
