i12bent:Nov. 24, 1639 – English astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks observes the transit of Venus, an event he alone had predicted.

This planetary event, which plays a central role in Thomas Pynchon’s novel Mason & Dixon, and which involves the planet Venus crossing the disk of the Sun as seen from Earth, occurs with long intervals within a 243-year cycle - but once one passage occurs, another always comes 8 years later. We had one in 2004 and are due to have the next one in 2012, and that’ll be the last time any of us are likely to see one (unless anyone plans to be around in 2117)…

Things that make me smile: Erin’s Tetris Dress. Erin’s blog is one of the reasons I started sewing, and the main reason I’m willing to be so silly in my fabric choices.
