“A Picturesque Venus Transit” is copyrighted by David Cortner. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe rare transit of Venus across the Sun earlier this month was extensively photographed. Both scientific and artistic images poured in from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Scientists confirmed that the "black drop effect" is more related to camera clarity than Venus's atmosphere. This event provided a wealth of data and stunning visuals.
