Here's where Mumbai can watch the venus transit tomorrow

Given the fact that it wont happen for the next 105 years, chances are that you shouldn’t miss the transit of venus across the sun on Wednesday morning. The planet will appear as a black spot travelling from one limb of the sun to the other. This happens because the planet Venus comes between the Earth and the Sun and thus appears as a small black dot on the sun to sky-gazers on Earth.
