Randomness:: Venus in Transit

Today, Venus will move across the face of the sun from our perspective here on earth. NPR answered, "Why the Venus Transit Matters" on All Things Considered. Astrological events offer us a different view of the time frame within our own lives.

 "The next Venus transit will be in 2117. That is 105 years from now. It's unlikely that anyone reading this today will still exist then. Think about that: The next time the orbits of Earth and Venus align just so to create a transit, the world will be entirely populated by an entirely unborn generation. That essential point about time is really what makes this transit worth a moment of your own."

 Something to consider. Time, passing, death, and space. It's like a Woody Allen film in our own sky...
