Thanks, Herve. It will be fun to watch the transit, even if only
virtually. I was wondering if the transit times from the perspective of
the SOHO spacecraft are available. The parallax from SOHO relative to the
center of earth is quite a bit greater than it is for any point on the
earth, isn't it?
The idea of providing geocentric transit times reminds me of a very old
George Carlin monologue. His hippy weatherman character Al Sleet says,
"the temperature at the airport is 68 degrees, which is stupid, because I
don't know anybody who lives at the airport."
