Once in a life time event can be observed by people across the globe from US to Korea, across all continents. The unique celestial display once in a century or more, is visible in daytime sky on Tuesday in US and early Wednesday in Asia. Probably none of us would see this celestial display in our life time as the next is predicted after 105 years.

For astronomers, the transit wasn't just a rare planetary spectacle. It was also one of those events they hoped would spark curiosity about the universe and our place in it.

Astronomers say that in south India Venus transit could be observed between 5.42 am- 10.22 am using solar filters. Viewing the celestial display by naked eyes must be avoided completely say astronomers. On the bright red/white sun a small beauty spot will be travelling across the width is Venus say sources. There was a huge rush to view this display across the metros in the morning.

Venus, which is extremely hot, is one of Earth's two neighbors and is so close in size to our planet that scientists at times call them near-twins. During the transit, it will appear as a small dot. This will be the seventh transit visible since German astronomer Johannes Kepler first predicted the phenomenon in the 17th century. Because of the shape and speed of Venus' orbit around the sun and its relationship to Earth's annual trip, transits occur in pairs separated by more than a century. (With Inputs from Internet- Aarkay)
