Stargazing is typically reserved for after sundown, but what if you want to look at the biggest star in the sky? On June 5^th, 2012, the planet Venus was visible by day – traveling in front of the sun! This is called the Transit of Venus, and is a rare astronomical event. A few hundred people gathered at the UK Arboretum to view the transit of Venus through special telescopes that allow safe observation of solar activity.
