Hubble Transit of Venus

Space Weather News for June 7, 2012
http://spaceweather.com

HUBBLE TRANSIT OF VENUS:  Transits of Venus are rare.  Transits of Venus with the Hubble Space Telescope alongside are unprecedented.  Astrophotographer Thierry Legault has captured a historic photo of Hubble crossing the face of the sun right beside the inky-black disk of Venus.  It is highlighted on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.

The world's largest collection of Venus Transit images may be found in Space Weather's new realtime photo gallery:  http://spaceweather.com/gallery/

HUBBLE TRANSIT OF VENUS: One of the big ironies of the 2012 Transit of Venus was that NASA's greatest telescope didn't dare photograph the event. Hubble's instruments are so sensitive, one look at the glaring sun would have crippled its instruments. Nevertheless, Hubble managed to join the show. Astrophotographer Theirry Legault caught the observatory flitting in front of the sun alongside Venus:
"I was in north-east Australia for the full transit of Venus and a transit of Hubble in the middle," says Legault. "My Nikon D4 digital camera was working at 10 fps on a Takahashi FSQ-106ED telescope to record 9 images of HST during its 0.9s transit."
This is certainly an historic photo. Imagine what James Cook would think of a telescope in space crossing his field of view as he watched the transit of 1769 from a beach in Tahiti. Moreover, imagine what kind of telescopes will be crossing the sun when the next Transit of Venus occurs in 2117. Congratulations to Legault for capturing a truly rare 0.9s slice of history.
More slices of history may be found in the Transit of Venus Photo Gallery:
