 Keep reading so that you don’t lose how far you have all come this year!!! You really can fall backwards in your reading levels if you don’t keep exercising those muscles!!

Tonight!!!! Will not happen for another 105 years!!!

Tonight beginning at 6:09pm is the Transit of Venus.

 

Hopefully the weather will cooperate because this will not happen again for another 105 years!! For anyone interested Stony Brook University is holding a public viewing.

Click here for link!

 

What is the Transit of Venus?

When Venus passes directly between earth and the sun, we see the distant planet as a small dot gliding slowly across the face of the sun.  Historically, this rare alignment is how we measured the size of our solar system.  The view is like a front row seat to the transit method, by which we now find planets around distant stars.
