As some of you may already tomorrow is going to be the transit of venus (over the sun). It'll appear as a black dot on the sun when it's happening.
This is a very rare phenomena so don't miss it. The next one will happen in 2117!

The following link gives the exact details of the times country-wise:

Also, do use proper eye protection when viewing. It can cause serious damage to your eyes if you don't.
Oh and Shi`a Muslims need to perform Salaat al-Aayat at the time it's happening. So go learn how to perform it :p (since it's almost certainly going to be visible everywhere during the day).

lol no... go to the link it'll give you the details for your country
For my place (Riyadh) it'll be visible from sunrise to 7:54am.

The point of saying 'during the day' was to make clear you wouldn't be able to see it at night. :p
