Rare Venus Transit to be Seen in Korea

"A very rare celestial event will take place in Korea as a Venus transit will occur after 130 years.

The Korea Astronomy Observatory (KAO) said Thursday that Venus will move in front of the sun from 2:12 p.m. on June 8. The Venus transit works under the same principle as a solar eclipse where a part of the sun turns dark when the moon blocks it, but since Venus is very small, the transit would be like a “mini eclipse” looking like a small spot passing the sun’s surface."

It will be seen only from Korea! Venus belongs to Korea! This phenomenon is OWNED by Korea!
