On June 5, 2012, Venus will pass across the face of the sun, producing a silhouette that no one alive today will likely see again.

Fortunately, the event is widely visible. Observers on seven continents, even a sliver of Antarctica, will be in position to see it.

A solar eclipse will occur over the western United States today during the late afternoon and early evening with Lake Tahoe being a good location for careful viewing. This event will begin as a partial eclipse around 5:15 p.m., then peak as an annular eclipse around 6:30 p.m. for less than five minutes in all gray shaded areas on the map, and finally return to a partial eclipse which will end around 7:30 p.m.

The full Moon has a reputation for trouble. It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through drapes. If a moonbeam wakes you up on the night of May 5, 2012, you might want to get out of bed and take a look. This May’s full Moon is a "super Moon,” as much as 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full Moons of 2012.
