June 6th, 2012 was an event you only see once in over 100 years. It was a Venus sun spot as it crossed in front of the sun.
A few weeks before, someone told me about it's coming. I put it on my events calendar on my phone to alert me so I could see it.
It was later in the day when it really showed up so it wasn't on the fringes of the sun. I tried to get earlier pictures but they were too close to the edge and you couldn't see them well. I had to go run some errands and meet with some people after I took these so I didn't have time to take pictures of it in its different positions.
You may need to click on the pictures to enlarge them to see the spot. It is between the center of the clock and the 2 o'clock spot.
I wonder if there are any more coming soon? I have never been one to follow that type of thing but these were so big I couldn't miss seeing them.
It has been exciting to watch them unfold and be witness to them.
