As Venus Transits The Face Of The Sun, Here's How To Safely Watch : NPRIs that clear enough? As we looked this morning for good guides about how to safely watch on Tuesday as Venus passes across the face of t...- ST. LOUIS • Astronomy fans and the space-curious headed outside to watch the transit of Venus after work Tuesday.
Three "official" watch sites were set up: The St. Louis Astronomical Society sponsored an event at the World's Fair Pavilion in Forest Park; University of Missouri-St. Louis sponsored a viewing at the Richard Schwartz Observatory; and the Astronomical Society of Eastern Missouri was at Broemmelsiek Park in St. Charles County. 
I saw Venus cross the sun in binoculars & a telescope. Lines are short @ Forest Park. #nerdtweet- Venus began moving across the surface of the sun at 5:03 p.m. Several sky-gazers created pinhole projectors and cameras to watch and photograph the event.
Ooh! Ooh! you can see venus so clearly on this livestream: twitcam.livestream.com/ab739
