You can see Venus just coming into view on the left of this
LASCO image from May 31. Over the next 5 days Venus will approach and disappear behind the occulter disk. On June 5 we will watch Venus move across the Sun in the telescopes of SDO. Watch the SDO images at
VenusTransit.gsfc.nasa.gov, starting at 2100 UTC (5 pm ET). The bright dot between Venus and the Sun is Mercury.
