Do you have plans already for the Venus transit? Join us in a public-viewing event at the College of Science Amphitheater, University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Reposted from the event page:

What: Rekindling Venus (Venus Transit)
When: June 6, 2012
Where: College of Science Amphitheater, UP Diliman, Quezon City.

A collaboration of RTU Astrosoc, UP Astrosoc, and UPLB Astrosoc in partnership with the AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY, MANILA and DOST-PAGASA.

Transit begins at around 6 am.
Program starts at 7.30 am.

What to expect: exhibits, astronomy booths, lectures, telescope viewing, mobile planetarium (limited passes).

This event is FREE and is open to everyone. Don’t you dare miss this once in a lifetime event (next transit is on year 2117).

Be part of history!

*We would like to thank D’greatrovers for their mobile planetarium services.

Clear skies to all! Feel free to drop by and experience the rarest predictable astronomical event which occurs only 4 times every 234 years (no man alive has observed it more than twice!)!
