I want to know about the 2012 venus transit and its visibility at Bangalore, Karnataks
I am pleased to learn about the transit of Venus website transitofvenus.nl and will recommend it to teachers in the Palm Springs Unified School District where I am a volunteer sidewalk astronomer, and to the California Science Teachers Association.
We are planning to observe the ingress of Venus onto the Sun’s disk from Cahuilla Elementary School, where the event begins just before the end of the school day. Then we will move to several other public sites in the Coachella Valley during the progress of the transit until the sun disappears below the San Jacinto Mountains to the west.
Sky watchers are encouraged to follow Venus in the evening sky with the May Sky Calendar and evening star map, available as pdf files for free at the Abrams Planetarium website at http://www.pa.msu.edu/abrams/skycalendar/
