Wow! Venus and Hubble Telescope Cross Sun Together in Spectacular Picture Photographing Tuesday’s historic Venus transit of the sun is special enough on its own, but one space photographer managed to get NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in the frame as well. Venus crossed the sun’s face from Earth’s perspective on Tuesday (June 5), marking the last such Venus transit until December 2117. Astrophotographer Thierry Legault captured the rare event, and his shot shows Hubble accompanying the planet on its trek across the solar disk.
