This 40 second video, courtesy of the Solar Dynamics Observatory, compresses seven hours or so of footage of the planet Venus passing between Earth and the sun into an easy to digest format. There are plenty more where that came from too, from every possible angle, speed, and visual wavelength. It's also much easier on the eyes than trying to stare at a blinding ball of gas all day.
