When Venus interposes itself
directly between Earth and the sun for the last time in more than a century,
national parks across America will be prepared to observe the historic event.
Many will have special filtered telescopes set up for safe viewing of the sun,
while rangers stand by to answer questions.
Every national park within the United States should be able to view the transit of Venus, either completely or in part, in the hours leading up to sunset on Tuesday, June 5.
The duration of the transit varies depending on how long before sunset it begins in a particular location. The eastern United States only has two prime hours to view Venus’ rare trip before the sun goes down, while Hawaii and Alaska are primed to watch the entire six-and-a-half hour crossing.
