- Do you like old radio shows? Relic Radio has posted an episode of a 1957 science fiction show called The Merchant of Venus in celebration of the transit.
- Want to see the transit in person? NASA's Sun-Earth Day website has a link to events around the globe.
- Cloudy or night where you are? Watch the transit online! Here are a handful of links to webcasts; I'm sure there are many, many more:
- NASA EDGE broadcasting from Mauna Kea, Hawaii, starting at 9:45pm UTC (5:45pm Eastern Daylight Time)
- Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network will broadcast from Haleakala in Hawaii
- The SLOOH SpaceCamera with images from around the world
- Live in northeast Texas? Come to our public viewing at Texas A&M University - Commerce.
- In the DC area? Check out a Venus viewing at NASA Goddard Visitor Center. I know a couple of people there, so feel free to give them a hard time.
- (Added later) SAFETY FIRST!! Do not, under any circumstances, look at the sun without appropriate safety equipment. Sunglasses (even multiple pairs) are NOT safe. Here is a list of safe and unsafe ways to view the transit from transitofvenus.org
