This is my reflection piece upon viewing the real life transit of Venus. It was a cloudy day without much good viewing time at all. We happened upon the roof of the Van Allen building downtown and looked through various space viewing instruments as the clouds broke up, leaving bits of clear sky. Filters allowed us to see the small dot of Venus passing between the sun and Earth. At one point the clouds formed a filter of their own and I could see it comfortably with my own eyes for the small instant I dared. I based this image on that experience.
