Transit of Venus 2012

The transit of Venus is a rare astronomical phenomena that could be seen 2004 and 2012. Next time would be 2117. The bigger black dot on the photo is Venus that is crawling over the sun. The smaller dots are 11 sunspots. The transit started before sunrise in Uppland and ended just before 07.00 local time. The sunrise was at 03.30. Most of the time the transit could be seen well at the south-eastern tip of Björkö in Roslagen.
