The planet Venus will pass in front of the sun, something that won't happen again until the year 2117...when we'll all be really old...or dead.
Starts at about 5:00 and will end around 8:30pm.
DO NOT WATCH THIS WITH THE NAKED EYE OR EVEN SUNGLASSES. YOU CAN'T LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN, DUMMY!
Mark Johnson at the Journal Sentinal did the digging to find out how you can SAFELY view it tonight.
