View the transit of Venus from 5:30 p.m. until sunset Tuesday, June 5, behind the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library.

The transit of Venus is when the planet Venus passes directly between the earth and the sun. This is seen as a small black dot traveling slowly across the sun’s disk.

The actual transit begins at 6:04 p.m. and will last until the sun disappears behind the horizon. This viewing event is weather dependent.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
