Eh, oh well. These phenomenons stopped being too impressive for me D:

I'm pretty sure there are many other eclipses and transits I could watch this century. Or not.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

False.
This is the 8th transit humans have experienced but only since the creation of Telescopes.
Get your facts straight, young man.

Oopsie, you're right on that one. It is because I've read "4 cycles", so I automaticly tought it was 8. But the first one was the last one on a pair.
But still, it wasn't 7 experienced by all humanity, it was since the creation of Telescopes.
