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/
