Did anyone else notice the lack of large sunspots during the transit? Apparently Venus does not share center stage! This thought just occured to me, so I haven't looked it up yet, but it seems that the next transit will be much closer to solar max; it may be much more likely that Venus will be accompanied by sunspots then. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
