You see, there are two events happening right now that are both rare and could be described as being of astronomical importance (albeit in two completely different uses of the word “astronomical), the Venus transit, and the Scott Walker recall.

Seeing as how my son is supposed to be downtown at the Maryland Science Center right now, and he’s planning to record and Youtube the event, I’ll just post his video when he finishes with it.

In either case, safety first: Do not stare at the sun, or at Scott Walker without wearing appropriate eye protection.
