Mercury the Messenger Greets Venus the Love Goddess HD

  
2 class C3 CMEs, one of which could give us a glancing blow. More details will come in update.

Mercury is heading away from the Sun, Venus toward it. In just a few days Venus will disappear behind that occulting disk and NASA SDO will pick up the Venus transit on June 5/6.
High above Earth, astronaut Don Pettit is about to become the first human to witness and photograph a transit of Venus from space. His images and commentary will be streamed to Earth during the crossing.
