if anyone wants to befriend me on Steam my friend code is 82930503 (transitofvenus is my display name) — keep in mind that I only have a Steam Deck and an Intel MacBook Pro so if you ever want to play anything my options are limited lol. I pretty much only ever play Diablo 4 and Rimworld these days.

I promised an account of yd's show. For starters, it had nothing to do with the #TransitOfVenus observed by Pingré in 1761 in #Rodrigues. It was just chosen as title for a workshop bringing international artists together with artists from our island, yd's show was mainly singing & dancing.

Whatcha Reading, Geekly? November 2025
Happy Wednesday, Geekly Gang! Today, our writers share what they've been reading over the past month. Feel free to share what you've been reading, because you're part of the Geekly Gang, too. I'll start our monthly reading post. Kyra's Comics I reread a favorite graphic novel this past month, Dick Tracy: The Complete True Hearts and Tommy Guns Trilogy. Dick Tracy is a classic 90s graphic novel. The 1990 Dick Tracy film could've been so much better had Warren Beatty decided to start with the first of these three stories.

Venus transited the sun 8 years ago, for the last time in our era.
The 1882 transit was the last one of its era. The photos from Lick Observatory weren’t good enough to improve the Earth-Sun distance and the plates went into storage. Some years ago the images were exhumed & animated. 🔭🧪

Reanimating the 1882 Transit of Venus
Travel 130 years back in time to watch Venus transit the Sun in 1882, thanks to the discovery of 147 forgotten photographs taken by David Peck Todd from Mount Hamilton in California.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the transit of Venus of 2004. The planet Venus passed in front of the Sun as seen from the Earth.
This picture was taken from London by holding a digital camera to the eyepiece of a 100mm aperture short-focus refracting telescope.
