A venus B & B venus C -> A venus C

today we witnessed the transit of venus across the sun. considering its rarity and history, I personally thought it was a much cooler event than the eclipse, if a bit less aesthetically impressive

So am I.

I can tell the one that's me is me, but I have to do a double take to make sure the one that's actually Marty isn't me.

(This actually seems a lot more exciting and fun, looking at the pictures, than it seemed when it was happening IRL. At the time, I was sort of confused why everyone was making such a big deal out of it, especially since we'd just had an astronomical event that was more striking.)
