Venus transit across the Sun: Live transmission via Internet in Spain.

Astronomers in Spain and indeed all over the World are excited today by a spectacle never seen before by living generations: Venus travelling across the Sun. Clear skies throughout most of Spain (check out weather forecast in Spain here) mean that people will be able to see the phenomenon themselves, as long as they use one of the methods recommended by experts and avoid looking directly at the sun.
