2012.6.5

Today is boshu (芒種), one of nijushisekki (二十四節季), the twenty-four solar terms.  The last one was shoman (小満) on May 21 and the next one is geshi (夏至) on June 21.
The year especially since last month to this month there are many space shows such as annular solar eclipse (金環日食: kinkan nisshoku) on May 21, partial lunar eclipse (部分月食:bubun gesshoku) last night, and the transit of Venus across the Sun (金星の日面通過:kinsei no nichimen tsuka) tomorrow. 
It was cloudy on May 21, so was last night.  And it may be typhoon tomorrow....
I hope to witness the once in a life show if possible.
