I tried to see the transit of Venus this morning with a home-made pinhole viewer, projecting the image onto another piece of board. Perhaps my fabrication methods were too crude, but I ended up with a poor image of the sun and nothing really visible.
Fortunately, the European Southern Observatory came to my rescue. Lots of wonderful images and QuickTime videos to watch for this once-in-a-lifetime (excepting 2012) event.
