Thanks to so many of our wonderful partners in the museum and science 
center community, the June 5/6 2012 NASA Sun Earth Day was an enormous 
success! We streamed video of the transit of Venus from atop Mauna Kea 
through the NASA EDGE webcast and pulled in video streams from around 
the world (India, Norway, England.....) through NASA TV. By all 
accounts, this is the biggest event NASA has ever sponsored in terms of 
shear numbers of people reached. We know that over 4,300 museums, 
planetariums, and science centers around the world registered for the 
program and we believe there were many more who did not register but who 
also carried the feeds in their centers or held a transit event or 
transit observing program.

We would like to gather some data - number of people you reached, 
stories of transit events you held and even pictures if you would like 
to share them with us. We can put them up on our NASA Venus Transit 
Flickr page ( http://www.flickr.com/groups/venustransit ).

If you have numbers, stories, or pictures you would like to share, you 
can respond to this ASTC listserve email or send them to me directly at

Thanks again for making this last in a lifetime event truly memorable!! 
We hope you will join us in 2013 for "Solar Max, Storm Warning". By the 
way, I believe we're in for a major storm on the 4th (
