Transit of Venus 2012

Photography for the Transit of Venus public viewing program organized jointly by Navnirmiti, Lokvidnyan Sanghatana and AIPSN on June 6, 2012. This is a very rare and important astronomical event that takes place at irregular intervals. It was supposed to have started with sunrise, and would end at about 10 AM but due to cloud cover all over India, very few places actually got to witness it. Pune crowd was fortunate enough to get the sun for about 45 minutes and the atmosphere and emotions changed from patiently waiting to exhilarating.
