Hi Jay,

I wasn't watching - I think I was still in bed to be honest with you. Whilst there's no denying that it was something a little unusual, from what I heard it was hard to even notice without a telescope or some sort of mangification, and I really couldn't be bothered with all that.

Eclipses; I'll spend a few minutes outside looking up in 'wonder', but meh... I had exams to revise for... :rolleyes:

PS According to BBC News, the next 'transit' will be in 2012, and the one after that will be in 2117, so you were close :)

Read at least the start of the thread, not just the title ;)

Unless there's some kind of mystic connection that I'm missing here...
