Veekay, I have not had a look for this info but there is a super website called ... space.com where I am sure you will find all the details you want. There are also fantastic photos!

I Missed the whole thing, too cloudy here in NYC. I guess I will just have to take care of myself and wait another 105 or so years. Did anyone take photos, if thats possible??????

While reading something completely different, I came across this: NASA provides rare images transit of Venus - yahoo news
NASA made a really great movie! When you consider that Venus and Earth have a similar size, you realize how small and insignificant our planet is out there in space...
