Venus Transit Captured by Space Station @SpaceWatch99

An unobstructed view of Venus Transit from space. Astronaut Don Petttit, who had the foresight to bring a solar filter for his camera, will be capturing the June 5 Venus Transit from the International Space Station with the images downloading in almost real-time. He will photograph through the European Space Agency-built 'cupola', removing the scratch panes to get crisp, clear images.
