COSMIC MESSAGE
Venus passed in front of the Sun on June 5, 2012, a rare event. Observers could see a small, circular dark dot moving across the solar disk. This dot was the planet Venus, distinct from the larger, sprawling sunspots. This type of solar eclipse, called a transit, is much rarer than a lunar eclipse.
