Venus_Transit (Explore)

            Taken during the Venus Transit 2004. Venus is the tiny dot on the solar disc. Food for thought our planet Earth would be a similar size -- insignificant in the wider galactic perspective.

Due to insufficient solar filtering by my IR filter stack, the CCD sensor of my little Nikon D70 overheated and the camera itself burst into flames. I noticed the smell of burning electronics and managed to pull out the memory card just before the camera itself met its maker.  This is the last image it captured.
