Larry and Dan were commenting on the relative sizes of the shadows of Mercury and Venus as cast on Sun’s surface during their respective transits. I found my Venus transit photos from 5 June 2012 and put three of these photos beside the two photos I posted for the recent Mercury transit. The size difference of the shadows is quite pronounced. Enlarge each photo for full effect.
