Early partial phases of eclipse.
Those mysterious shadows seem to like rare astronomical events because they returned during this Venus transit, again to a condo complex in Arlington, MA. It appeared that at least one of these shadows knows how to operate a telescope. While no one else witnessed these shadows, making any future investigations almost impossible, it is known that that one of the shadows played cobra. They also again seem to bear a resemblence to the shadows photographed in late June 2003.
including those of the clouds that prevented observations of final contacts.
