Default BBC WILTSHIRE - Missed the Transit of Venus? Watch it here

It only happens a dozen times a millennium, it last occurred over a
century ago and no living soul had witnessed it.

But if you missed it, on Tuesday June 8th, we've got a transit
animation that will put you in the picture...

Just hit play and sit back and enjoy six hours compressed into just a
few minutes...
