Caroline Bailey, North Devon
Thank you so much for the transit of Venus webcam coverage. It was excellent. I am a student teacher, and all my students logged on to your site and really enjoyed the viewing. I was especially grateful as we had thick cloud cover during my lesson, and could see nothing through our telescope. Thank you for making a fascinating event even more memorable.

yoyo
I saw it on paper it was cool!

Elizabeth
The transit was amazing i took the morning off work just to see it , my daughter Catherine loved it .

hi boys
it was stupid what is the point

Rosie
I think it was very ggod to watch on the computor and you were the only only website where i could see it live so well done and thanks.

tim
i think it was amazing.i was on webcam wacthing it

Ray Wilby
Thanks for the webcam view all we saw was clouds rain and a thunderstorm.

Richard Pullan
Great, I could watch it from my desk at work and not go blind! Thanks

Ken Cope (Derbyshire)
Great webcam pics. They added greatly to my enjoyment of watching the transit live through Meade EC90 and BC&F Solar filter. A fantastic morning! Many thanks.

Mike Craig
My class of 7 year olds were amazed at the difference in size between Venus and the sun. A amazing sight and a good job there was a webcast because of low cloud obscuring the sun most of the morning. Thanks

Evelyn
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch this live - it's been fascinating!

Barbara Ryan
Thank you for allowing us to share in this rare event, Wonderful!

Daniel Hall
yes all these images are superb i watched the venus transit at third contact i think when we imagined the sun was a clock it was on 5 which was amazing the solar spectacle was amazing. I have been watching at school and taped the BBC Live coverage of the transit of Venus I honestly have to say June 8th will be remembered all of my life i am 15 from Scunthorpe. I have had a great day and enjoyed it i used solar eclipse glasses i have enjoyed the news coverage and the news headlines about this event

Joanne
Thank you, it was so cool to see the transit of Venus, I have been waiting to see it for days. You have made my day!!!!!

Staff and children of Wroughton Junior School
Thank you so much for your wonderful web cam pictures of the Venus transit. We were able to display them on the interactive whiteboards in our classrooms so that all the children had the opportunity to watch the event - live! Many thanks

Year 3 Archbishop Rowan Williams Primary School Po
We enjoyed using your webcam to watch Venus crossing the Sun. It is strange to think that we will be 16 before it comes again and that after that evan our grandchildren won't see it! We have printed out some pictures of Venus crossing the Sun and are going to make a class book so that in the next few years other children will be able to see what we were lucky enough to see.

S. J. Farthing
Well done. Despite looking around the web, this was the only site I could find with live pics. I was able to see it for real too, so could use the webcam view to enhance my own less clear view.

stephanie crocker
that was brilliant, thank you very much. It cheered up the office!

Thank you. My class and I watched quite a lot of the transit and we are grateful to you for making it safe and possible. Hornbeam class, Mason Moor Primary School, Millbrook, Southampton.

Daniel
This webcast is excellent. I am stuck in a European Management Meeting in Switzerland but I have the webcast up on my laptop so I can track its progress. Marvellous.

ROBERT
venus is my favourite planet in THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Angela Allchurch
A very big thank you for showing pictures of the transit. The sun has been hidden by a cloudy haze so I have been unable to set up pictures for myself, so your pictures have been fantastic & allowed me to witness this extraordinary event. Now that the transit has finished, the sun is starting to come out!! Thank you again for the fabulous pictures. Angela Allchurch

Betty Melbourne
Thank you for making it possible for my class and I to view the transit safely. We had the webcast displayed on the classroom computer all morning, a constant source of interest and amazement!

Rob Duddington
Here at South Hunsley School, East Riding of Yorkshire year 7 and 8 students have been following the transit of Venus on via this site and also we have projected an image onto the wall using a mirror covered with a piece of cardboard with a 1" hole in it. The colud cover does keep covering our view but the England.

Stuart jamieson
We live close to hoole where J Horrocks worked at the time he saw the transit and my wife played some part in the village celebration. I heard of the transit some 60 years ago and as a 12yr old became determined to live long enough to witness the next transit. I made it so can I thank you for your Web transmitions they have made today a very good day indeed. Thank you, Stuart Jamieson

Norma Power
What a wonderful occasion. This was a well presented site with lots of interesting data.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to see this. I live in New Zealand and would otherwise have missed what is an event that precipitated the arrival in Australia and New Zealand of the early Europeans - namely James Cook.

MICHAEL MEUER

phil lawrence
When the event is over, will a timelapse sequence be made available?

Andrew McIntyre
I'm only an eleven year old boy but me and my classmates got up at about 4.45 in the morning to see the start of the Transit. Unfortunatly we missed the begining as it was very cloudy up here in Stirling! The rest of the Transit was amazing! We got lots of photographs that we posted on the internet. Thank you and sorry if it's a bit too long. Yours sincerely Andrew McIntyre.

goffy
very interesting a bit boring

Anonymus
dis is exiting

Dr Guy Leach
Under the heading "How can I watch the transit safely?" we are advised to "project an image of the sun onto a sheet of white paper". What would be a good way to do this?

christine aziz
thank you very much for making it possible for me to watch the transit. it is very exciting and your web site is excellent.....well done!!!

Andrea
it was a very good picture of venus

Mr. M.J.Law
Thanks...Wiltshire A.S..Fantastic.

becky taylor
when the next eclipse

rebecca
i thought that it was a very good picture of venuse

ANDREAS GEORGIOU
It's moments like the present, when we realise what Real Power of the unknown means. Never mind the might of the US or the so called England thugs, this shows how small and insignificant we really are. We are part of this Cosmos set up, not it part of us!!!!!!!!!!

juliette.sims@ntlworld.com
VERY GOOD I HAVE PRINTED OFF A COPY TO KEEP FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN THANKYOU.

John Lester - Newbury
Interesting but hoped for more colour! When I was at sea in the Merchant Navy before the days of Satnav, when crossing the Pacific Ocean we used Venus regularly to get a cross position line with our Noon sight. It was clearly visible in daylight with a sextant if you worked out roughly where to look in the sky and was a useful afternoon check on the routine sun sights taken in the forenoon and at noon.

kristy
can i just say what an absolute privalage it is to be able to witness this venus transit. its an amazing event in what will be history!

Colin Bracher
Thanks for taking the trouble to do a live webcast. I have just looked at the sun with my Eclipse Glasses. Don't think I will be around the next time this happens. It is nice to see something that no one alive has seen before.

hadia awad
which Countries will be able to see that transit

jim
cool

Helen Kerr
Very good! All I got was 'page could not be displayed!

brian jones
on viewing the transit at 07-53 bst via a 9-18 SHADE welding mask with a auto dim feature there was a fantastic solar flare right by the coarse of venus's tranmsit this was viewed via a 60x spotting scope no camera in this mode welders mask protects the eye crucial its powerfull enough not the standard 9-13 settings....... brian

Linda Walton
This is one of the most exciting experiences that I have had; what a fantastic use of the web. And Philip Perkins website has some of the most stunning pictures I have ever see. Thank you everyone who put this together.

Paul Emond, St Catharines, Canada

Richard Remiszewski Somerset
This is truly amazing! The Web at its finest for ALL to Share this rare and unique event. Thank very much, greatly appreciated!

Wiltshire Astronomical Society
Wiltshire Astronomical Society is setting up a public viewing from Chippenham town bridge of the first transition of Venus across the sun for more than 100 years. The society will be setting up telescopes at the Fizz Bar from 6am before moving to the riverside park behind Wilkinsons at 8am once the sun has moved from behind the trees. The transit will start at 6.17am and continue until 12.30pm. Organiser Andy Burns said because of the dangers of looking directly at the sun, the telescopes will be fitted with solar filters, and projection boxes will be set up for safe viewing. If the weather forecast is for all over cloud on the day the society will be looking for alternative sunny spots with clear skies. Local schools and a television crew from the BBC are expected to attend. The Wiltshire Astronomical Society was founded in 1995 and caters for all aspects of astronomy with members of all levels of experience. It meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 8pm in the WI Hall at Seend.
