Williams Lake astronomers provide opportunity to see planet Venus in a rare situation.

The planet Venus will be seen from a rare angle on June 5.

 

Venus, Earth and the Sun have to line up perfectly for tiny Venus to show up against the face of the sun, but that’s exactly what happens on June 5. Lynn and Steve Capling are generously offering to set up their solar telescopes so people can see this dramatic sight safely. Come down to the picnic grounds at Scout Island between 5 p.m. and sunset to see this spectacular event.
