"No other object has been misidentified as a flying saucer more often than the planet Venus. Even the former leader of your United States of America, James Earl Carter, Jr., thought he saw a UFO once, but it's been proven he only saw the planet Venus.

Venus was at its peak brilliance last night. You probably thought you saw something up in the sky other than Venus, but I assure you: it was Venus."

Man In Black (Jesse "The Body" Ventura), The X-Files, "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'"

NASA's gallery of the transit of Venus across the Sun from the the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Whoa! Breathtaking.

This one’s for my good friend, Akeshia, who’s been reminding me of fun times at the U. We watched a few movies together when we were undergrads. Perhaps, my belief that Start Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is the best of all Star Treks stems from catching it with her on a packed opening night at the AMC in South Miami. No not the one across the street, the other cinema!
