They say you could see Venus crossing the sun yesterday

How could that be

I thought all planets orbited the sun

Did Venus come between us and the sun.

Venus crossed between us and the sun.

The local Astrology Association was set up near my house with their $100,000 telescopes checking it out

Do you think Uranus had anything to do with itr?!?!?

I was able to see it with my 2 dollar solar glasses.

I wish I had a proper solar filter for my telescope so I could have had a better view.

Is it going on tonight too?

That kinda thing should stick around for a few days so everyone could have the chance to enjoy

It was clouded over here, like it was for the solar eclipse a couple of weeks ago. :(
