Description
English: Venus Passing in Front of the Sun on June 5th, 2012.

Side note: I have never had to shoot the sun directly during the daylight hours. Check the XIF for what worked for me. And be very careful with your eyes! Lens magnification + the sun + your eyes = bad. So be careful out there kids. I'm still seeing spots!
