“A Venus Transit Over the Baltic Sea” is copyrighted by Jens Hackmann. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis photograph captures the rare transit of Venus across the rising Sun over the Baltic Sea. Taken from Fehmarn Island, the image shows Venus as a small black dot against the sun's disk. The atmospheric haze and clouds add varying shades of red to the solar limb. Such an event requires careful planning and a bit of luck to witness and photograph.
