>The poor roosters were SO confused!
Yes, I heard about that; but the most I have seen, the sun was a little more than half covered (diameter), if I remember correctly. Nothing very dramatic.
>Got to see it's image - nothing fancy - just using two 3 x 5 cards, one w/a pin hole. Cool!
Back to Venus: did you know you can see her in the daytime? I often saw her, sometimes close before sunset, but even at noon. The only problem is, you have to know exactly where to look. If you are a few degress off, you don't see anything.
