One of the rarest of predictable celestial phenomena
(The photo had to significantly
underexpose so you could see the transit of Venus )

The Sikkim State Council of Science and Technology (SSCST) had provided an arrangement for watching this wonderful view of transit of venus across the sun at white hall complex. The awesome spectacle was also witnessed by the people of Sikkim in different places.
SSCST had also provided Safe Solar Viewers and awareness programme to the students of various schools.
The last transit of Venus occurred on June 8, 2004 and was visible across India. And the next pair of transits will not occur until December 2117 and December 2125.
