Bay Area residents get rare chance to see Venus sweep in front of sun

Those who missed the solar eclipse two weeks ago may get an even rarer chance this week to see the sun dim when Venus sweeps in front of our home star Tuesday. Miss it and the next showing won't be for another 105 years, astronomers say. 

"Just knowing that you're seeing something happen that won't be seen by anyone alive today again is a really neat experience," said Holly Gilbert, a solar physicist at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
When viewed from the Bay Area, Venus will breach the sun's blinding edge at 3:04 p.m. and will cast a tiny silhouette for about five hours as it slowly crawls across the sky, until the fiery orb dips into the horizon with the planet still in its spotlight.

George Zimmerman back in Florida jail

Zimmerman surrendered 40 minutes before deadline

SANFORD, Fla. -
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin, surrendered to police Sunday and was booked into jail after having his bail revoked two days earlier.

Zimmerman's legal team said in a tweet that he was in police custody. Zimmerman's bail was revoked because the judge said he and his wife lied to the court about their finances so he could obtain a lower bond.

On Sunday afternoon, about 40 minutes before the 2:30 p.m. deadline to surrender, Zimmerman was listed as an inmate on the jail website. He was listed as being held without bail and having $500 in his jail account.
