Transit of Venus-ing

On June 5th, I went with my friend and sister to the Ontario Science Centre to see the Transit of Venus with a bunch of other people with nerdy interests just like us.
When we were there, a lot of people set up cool devises that I will never know how to do. Some people have pinhole camera's and telescopes and things connected to laptops. It was pretty amazing. Here are a few pictures that I collected while I was there.





There were many more that I was not able to capture on camera, overall it was a wonderful experience! 
Oh, and here is a picture released by NASA:

    The last photo from NASA reminds me of the painting we saw at the 60 painters show (the one with the paint and caulking!)
