There will be a very rare phenomenon of seeing Venus going in front of sun occurred on next month June 6th

imagine the look of the villagers (i was in my village) around me with the welder's mask looking at the sun!!

they tried to look but only saw the sun; shook their heads and walked away muttering !!

negative arachchi; as soon as the sun rises, ur blinded.

u have to look to the sun's reflexion _thru a specal lense_ on a board behind the lense.

or an index UV4 sunglasses/lenses mounted on binocular.

what i did is i wore the black helmet the welders wear when welding metals. it works.

TFS but u won't be able to see anything without proper instruments (indirect seeing of the sun reflexion, or special sun googles);

the last time it happened, i believe it was on 4-4-2004, i couldn't look at the sun with my bare eyes, so saw nothing. even the sun light doesn't decrease.
