COSMIC MESSAGE
This rare image captures Venus transiting the Sun during the summer solstice, as seen from a high northern latitude. At this location, the Sun never fully sets, even at midnight. The transit of Venus is a rare event, and seeing it against the backdrop of the midnight sun makes this photograph especially unique. It highlights the precise alignment of Earth, Venus, and the Sun.
