What the chance of seeing Venus

[Falkor]

Best chance is going to be Sunrise but thats not till 4.45, Venus starts crossing the Sun at 10pm tonight, would love to see it but not looking likely as only last 6 hours and 30mins.

Once in a life time moment of seeing it

BBC News - Venus to put on Sun spectacular

You can see Venus most nights, it's usually the brightest thing in the sky

Its a Transit of Venus tonight. Venus crosses the face of the Sun. Last time it happens this century. Don't look at it directly. Obviously.

Falkor - you do know not to look directly at the sun, don't you? You need special equipment and stuff.
