金星凌日（金星遮了太阳的照片）

Who, but me, would still be up at 1:10 AM, and guide a long lost classmate in Beijing to watch the beginning of the Venus Transit? For almost an hour I desperately looked for information online on how to
construct a pinhole camera.

Who, but me, would wait for a best friend in Holland to come online at 1:50 AM, to hear about her sighting, while watching the event broadcast live on the internet?

Who, but me, would share the live movie with a internet friend in Seattle, since he would have no chance to seeing it live?

Who, but me, would for once, get up at 5:30 AM, to join an enthusiastic crowd on a rooftop, to anticipate, to appreciate, to admire, this "once
in a lifetime celestial feast"?

And, a point-and-shoot digital camera (Canon PowerShot s40) actually worked!
