Natural History Wanderings

Meteor Watch has posted a calendar of the top astronomical events for the coming year.  It includes meteor showers, a solar eclipse, and  a transit of Venus across the sun.  I will write about these events when they get closer but here is a link to their calendar if you want to look ahead: http://www.meteorwatch.org/2011/12/29/top-astronomy-events-coming-up-in-2012/
