The planet Venus will pass in front of the sun for the last time in nearly 100 years, and the University of Virginia\'s astronomy officials are holding a gathering to view the event. U.Va. astronomers plan to host a transit of Venus viewing event on Tuesday from 6 p.m. to sunset at Darden Towe Park. Astronomer Edward Murphy says there will be several telescopes with solar-viewing filters on hand for people to watch the event, which will begin at 6:10 p.m.
