Dear Science and astronomy friends,

It is still too early to ask but still let us discuss what will be the best time
and places to observe the Venus transit?

Morning transit or evening transit? Clear sky or Hazy sky without clouds. and so
where we need to go to see the best?

Its good idea to think about of places and weather well in an advance before the
real phenomenon.

going back to the time of viewing the Venus transit - it will be convenient to
see in either at the place where Venus transit is in the morning time or in the
evening time. (Best will be transit with Sun rise as there will be a chance to
see all later phases of Venus
transit -later in the day)

If any one have a map of the transit where it will be visible in the morning
(with sun rise )and where in the evening (before sun set)time. that will be
better to observe the sun disk and transits of Venus with low light in morning
OR evening time. also that will give good view as that will give a wider pupil
view in the eye. and pleasant atmosphere too. bit hazy atmosphere with light fog
in air may improve the view as it gives partial filter effects.

but for that some one has to travel east or west depending of the location.

Some prefer to go to see shore- some to desert area like Kutch and some to Hill
station holiday to enjoy. But main problem is weather on the day - hope that do
not become cloudy at the time at that place.

Weather patterns nowadays are changing so unexpectedly that we can not judge the
weather in six months in advance. (generally kutch weather is clear sky in June
but last early June 2003 was well cloudy followed by plenty of rain for many
long days) so this type of changing weather pattern need to take an opinion from
weather expert well in advance but just 2-3 weeks before 8June. that will decide
where to go or not! and whether to go or not!
