DIY Venus viewer
James Jensen, a student at Jacksonville State University in Glencoe, Ala., took a picture of this unique reflecting telescope setup used to witness the passage of Venus. "They stretched a Wal-Mart bag over the viewer so that the image of the sun is projected onto the bag, and Venus shows up as a shadow," Jensen told Crave.
