Astronomer David Dundee is offering a deal for those who visit the Tellus Science Museum tonight in Cartersville, Ga., for a special program dedicated to the transit of Venus.
Those who save their receipt will get in free next time the Earth, Venus and sun line up perfectly so skywatchers can see Venus as a little black disc passing in front of the sun.
“They can use that receipt for the next transit of Venus,” Dundee said tongue-in-cheek, since the celestial event won’t take place again for 105 years.
“If you miss it this time, you’re out of luck until 2117,” he said.
